This study is about the Spanish sub-cohort of the survey, and its objective is to present and analyse the peculiarities of ophthalmology training in Spain within the European context, as well as discussing ways to harmonise and improve that training throughout the EU.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>We analyse data of the Spanish participants in the EBO exams, defining subgroups by the Autonomous Communities existing in Spain.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>93 of 135 requested participants (68.9%) responded. A 60.2% passed the EBO exam between 2021 and 2022, being mostly women (65.59%) aged 31 years old on average. The 91.4% were right-handed, coming from 13 of the 17 Spanish autonomous communities, although mostly from the Community of Valencia, Madrid and Catalonia. Respectively, 16.1%, 3.2% and 8.7% of the respondents said they have completed 10 or more training sessions on animal eyes, synthetic eyes and through the virtual reality simulator. This training was correlated with greater self-confidence in the management of a posterior capsular tear during surgery (p .025).

The Simulation Based Medical Education (SBME) allows to respond to the training deficit and complements the training on the patient.
