OPHT 204: Ophthalmology Microsurgical Curriculum for Medical Students

Microsurgical training and development in technical skills is an integral part of residency training amongst a variety ofnspecialties including ophthalmology. Medical students often acquire a diverse exposure to general surgical skills, butnmay lack the opportunity to gain direct experience in microsurgical techniques. This curriculum will provide didacticsnwithin a small-group setting regarding microsurgical instruments, suturing and knot-tying techniques, as well as handsonnpractice suturing under a microscope. The goal of the course is to provide exposure of microsurgical techniques tonmedical students to serve as a decision-making aid for residency interest.

OPHT 300A: Ophthalmology Clerkship

Selective 1. Open to visitors. An brief, but excellent exposure to general and subspecialty ophthalmology at Stanford University. The clerkship consists of spending time in clinic, the OR, and didactics. Designed to accommodate students of differing levels of interest from those definitely wanting a long-term career in ophthalmology to those who are just starting out and just want to know how to spell ophthalmology. Rotation provides exposure at three clinical sites: Byers Eye Institute (Stanford), the Palo Alto VA, and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Students will visit each of the locations over the course of the rotation, spending your first and fourth weeks at one site, and the 2nd and 3rd weeks at each of the other two locations. Credentialing: Because of the exposure at three different clinical sites, students need access to obtain site access prior to the start of the rotation. We can do the heavy lifting here, but we need you to fill out the paperwork we send you approximately 6-8 weeks before the rotation begins. This is particularly important for external students. nPrereq: Students must have access to transportation for facilities offsite and for ER after hours. Periods Avail: P1-12. Full-time for 4 weeks. 3 students per period. nReporting Instructions: Plan to report to Byers Eye Center the first day of the rotation for an orientation unless instructed otherwise. Clinical duties begin the second day of the rotation; Time: 9:00 am. Units: 6. Call Code: 2 Director: Ira Schachar, M.D. (ischacha@stanford.edu). Other Faculty: Staff Coord: TBA.

OPHT 300E: Ophthalmology Clerkship

Selective 1. Open to visitors. Does the thought of evaluating diplopia, eye pain, or vision loss in a patient give you palpitations? This is the rotation for you. Offers a hands on, comprehensive experience focused on sharpening clinical eye examination skills and rationally evaluating ophthalmic conditions and problems. Students will examine patients with a variety of common and uncommon eye conditions, teach patients about their eye diseases, and learn to recognize situations that warrant referral to an ophthalmologist. Learning is enhanced through digital imaging techniques based on anterior and posterior segment ocular visualization, as well as newer modalities such as optical coherence tomography. Location is in lovely wine country in Livermore, with a cottage available for lodging, so your commute is to walk across the driveway, avoiding the wild turkeys. In addition to educational materials supplied during the rotation, students can also access Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology 16th Edition, by Paul Riordan-Eva and John P. Whitcher, online at http://lane.stanford.edu, then click on "Students" and then "USMLEasy.com" and then "Ophthalmology."
