Abstract

Background: Although all ophthalmology residency graduates must fulfill the competencies outlined by The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the accrediting body for ophthalmology residency programs in the United States, there remains no standardized means of assessing surgical competency.

Methods: A needs analysis was conducted by the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO) of primary stakeholders including residents, faculty, and program directors to identify steps required to determine resources needed to assess surgical competency in ophthalmology resident training.

Results: Three separate yet related needs were identified: determining a definition for competency in essential tasks, determining competency in advanced tasks, and the creation of educational resources that facilitate achievement of both levels of competency.

Conclusion: AUPO developed the Surgical Curriculum for Ophthalmology Residents (SCOR) to provide surgical standards and instructional resources for residents and faculty training the residents. The SCOR program seeks to set the standards for surgical competency at both the basic and advanced levels during residency training.

为眼科住院医师创建标准化的外科课程。

背景：尽管所有的眼科住院医师毕业生都必须满足美国眼科住院医师项目认证机构——研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）所概述的能力要求，但目前还没有标准化的外科能力评估方法。方法：由眼科大学教授协会（AUPO）对主要利益相关者进行需求分析，包括住院医师、教师和项目主任，以确定评估眼科住院医师培训手术能力所需的资源所需的步骤。结果：确定了三个独立但相关的需求：确定基本任务能力的定义，确定高级任务能力的定义，以及促进两级能力实现的教育资源的创建。结论：AUPO开发了《眼科住院医师外科课程》（SCOR），为住院医师和教师培训住院医师提供了外科标准和教学资源。SCOR项目旨在为住院医师培训期间的基本和高级水平的外科能力设定标准。
