Undergraduate<br />
Teaching Programme<br />
Singapore National Eye Centre is a major training<br />
centre for undergraduate ophthalmic education.<br />
We offer a comprehensive two-week clinical<br />
ophthalmology training programme for 4th<br />
year medical students. The aim is to provide<br />
a stimulating environment for learning with<br />
exposure to an extensive array of ophthalmic<br />
pathologies coupled with direct patient care.<br />
An enthusiastic and highly motivated teaching faculty,<br />
holding academic appointments from the National<br />
University of Singapore and Duke-NUS as well as<br />
visiting ophthalmologists holding part-time teaching<br />
appointments are involved in this teaching programme.<br />
Based on the students’ feedback and our past experiences,<br />
we constantly remodel and upgrade our programme to<br />
meet the learning needs of our younger generation.<br />
The programme encompasses the gamut of lectures, didactic/<br />
video teaching sessions, clinical attachments and skill transfer<br />
demonstrations.<br />
SKILL TRANSFER DEMONSTRATIONS<br />
There are small group sessions led by clinical instructors that<br />
focus on differential diagnosis, clinical examination skills, and<br />
the use of ophthalmic instruments. In this way, each student is<br />
exposed to major ophthalmic diseases, significant ophthalmic<br />
signs/symptoms, and obtains actual examination experience,<br />
all of which are useful in the practice of any medical specialty.<br />
On site exposure in the operating theatre is scheduled to<br />
enable students to observe the various types of ophthalmic<br />
surgeries.<br />
PERSONALISED CLINICAL TUTORIALS<br />
An added feature of this posting is the introduction of<br />
personalized clinical tutorials based on the eight lecture<br />
modules where patients with specific disease entities<br />
are featured.<br />
The students will be able to better correlate factual<br />
knowledge gained from didactic lectures to clinical<br />
signs demonstrated on a live patient. Their examination<br />
techniques can then be further refined.<br />
We invite applications for a two week<br />
clinical elective programme from local<br />
and overseas medical students and for a<br />
one-month Sub-internship from Duke-NUS<br />
medical students.<br />
Herein, the students are scheduled to our<br />
sub-specialty disciplines to gain more in<br />
depth knowledge of the subject:<br />
• Cataract and Comprehensive Ophthalmology<br />
• Cornea<br />
• Glaucoma<br />
• Oculoplastics<br />
• Paediatrics and Strabismus<br />
• Neuro-ophthalmology<br />
• Uveitis<br />
• Vitreo-retina<br />
Students who are interested in pursuing<br />
ophthalmology as a career can avail the<br />
chance of being a part of a high quality<br />
research project led by renowned vision<br />
scientists at our centre.<br />
A strong commitment to teaching by our teaching faculty<br />
assures that ophthalmic education is maintained as a top priority<br />
amidst the imperatives of patient care and research.<br />
