TY - JOUR AU - Golnik, Karl C. PY - 2019 TI - Clinical evaluation exercises and direct observation of surgical skills in ophthalmology JF - Annals of Eye Science; Vol 4 (August 2019): Annals of Eye Science Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Ophthalmology residency training programs need authentic methods of assessment to show that trainees have learned and can do what is expected upon graduation. Written and oral examinations are necessary to assess knowledge but other methods are needed to assess skill. Workplace-based assessments (WPBAs) should be utilized to observe resident skill in the clinic and during surgery. Several such assessment tools have been published and validated. These tools have the additional benefit of facilitating specific formative feedback and thus can be used for both teaching and assessing. UR - https://aes.amegroups.org/article/view/4968
