I. Preamble

In the International Strategic Plan to Preserve and Restore Vision (1999), an International TaskForce on Medical Students Education was established. The leadership of ICO agrees thatophthalmic education of medical students should include the basic knowledge and skills toprovide appropriate levels of primary eye care, and medical students should learn the indicationsand need for referral to ophthalmologists for management of specialty cases. Evidence-basedophthalmic curriculum for medical students should be incorporated as core curriculum for allmedical schools. It is recognized that in different geographic regions of the world medicalgraduates may be required to provide primary eye care, while others may have easy access toreferral of ophthalmic specialists. Ophthalmic manifestations of systemic diseases are common,and an understanding of these eye manifestations is a necessary part of the comprehensiveeducation for modern physicians.

The International Council of Ophthalmology passed a resolution to call on all Medical Schoolsworld wide to establish a curriculum for ophthalmic education of medical students as part oftheir core curriculum for medical education, and not as an elective in the course of medicaleducation. Dr. Yasuo Tano (Japan) and Dr. Gerhard K. Lang (Germany) were asked to Chair theTask Force.

The Task Force took initiatives to begin developing a curriculum, and noted that1. In the 21st Century, eye care has become increasingly important in the general practice of

medicine.2. Vision is one of the vital factors influencing quality of life.3. Primary eye care (including recognizing eye diseases) should be the responsibility of

family physicians, as ophthalmic manifestations of systemic diseases are commonlyassociated with medical, neurological, and metabolic diseases.

4. A solid education in ophthalmology should be part of the comprehensive education ofmodern physician. The Task Force recommended that the educational programs of allmedical students should include a basic understanding of eye diseases and eyemanifestations of systemic diseases. However, the family physician should recognizecertain eye diseases, which would require a referral to an eye care specialist.

5. There has been a spectrum of teaching methods of ophthalmology for medical studentsconsisting of: 1) traditional didactic lectures and clinical demonstrations. 2) Illustrativecase studies to highlight particular eye diseases. 3) Evidence-based medical teaching,pairing ophthalmic teaching with neuro-science, neurology, endocrinology, pediatrics,and other relevant subjects. The Task Force emphasizes the importance of clinicalexposure to patients. Patient contact and bedside teaching in ophthalmology are criticalin providing clinical experience.

6. Ophthalmology is mostly a surgical specialty, so medical students should be given anopportunity to observe procedures in the operating room. By allowing students to beexposed to the surgical procedures, they will acquire a more realistic understanding ofophthalmic practice.

7. The time allotment for teaching students in ophthalmology is important. It is recognizedthat different medical subspecialties compete vigorously for time in the medical

SEMI-FINAL DRAFT 3/17/2006

education curriculum. However, an adequate period of time must also be allotted forlearning eye care.

In January 2002, Dr. Richard Parrish took over the Chairmanship of the International Task Forceand started working on a detailed outline for a medical student curriculum. The Task Forceconsidered the importance of local diseases in different countries, especially in areas where eyediseases such as onchocerciasis or cataract are endemic. It is strongly believed that medicalstudents in those regions should have a more in-depth understanding of these conditions. Thefinal report consists not only of subjects in the curricula, but also covers sources of illustrativematerials for use in teaching.

Under the leadership of Dr. Richard K. Parrish II, new directions have developed and guided thecommittee in preparation of this document.

1. The reduction in time allotted for ophthalmic education in medical school threatens todiminish the clinical skills of graduating physicians throughout the world. This willadversely affect the quality of eye care knowledge worldwide.

2. An ophthalmic cognitive and clinical skill set should be defined for internationalmedical educators.

3. Basic ophthalmic knowledge and clinical skills should be recognized internationallyand included as part of the medical student’s general curriculum.

4. Recommendations of the Task Force should reflect the consensus of a broad-basedinternational ophthalmic educational community.

5. The Task Force should define minimum standards for medical student educationwhich are not intended to replace existing curricula, such as Blueprint 2001: Trainingof Doctors in the Netherlands, or the Swiss Catalogue of Learning Goals inOphthalmology.

6. Teaching materials, including clinical photographs, selected readings from existingtextbooks, and publications should be made available through the ICO website forinternational medical students who do not have ready access to printed material.

The Task Force Chairman queried members of the International Federation of OphthalmologicalSocieties in January and April 2003 to determine the minimum knowledge and clinical skills thatgraduating medical student should demonstrate. It was determined that all medical studentsshould demonstrate competency in these areas:

1. Measurement of near visual acuity with and without correction.2. Determination of visual fields by confrontation technique.3. Assessment of extra ocular motility in the six cardinal positions of gaze and primary

position.4. Measurement and interpretation of pupillary size and reaction to light.5. Penlight examination of the anterior segment, including upper lid eversion.6. Examination of the optic nerve and posterior pole with direct ophthalmoscopy.7. Removal of superficial corneal or conjunctival foreign body.

With these skills the graduating medical student should be able to make the following diagnosesand initiate an appropriate treatment or referral plan for the following conditions: 1.)Conjunctivitis; 2.) Cataract; 3.) Corneal ulcer; 4.) Corneal foreign body; 5.) Maculardegeneration; 6.) Diabetic retinopathy; 7.) Hypertensive retinopathy; 8.) Glaucoma; 9.)Uncorrected refractive error; 10.) Ocular trauma; 11.) Papilledema; 12.) Hemianopic and bi-temporal visual field defects; 13.) Acute onset of cranial nerve palsies III, IV, VI; 14.) Acuteonset strabismus; 15.) Leukocoria.

The medical student curriculum designed by the ICO Task Force is divided into 12 parts. Thefirst section, Fundamentals of Ophthalmology, outlines the essential skills and serves as a basisfor the understanding the other 11 areas that provide information in subspecialty areas. Just asother widely circulated consensus documents reflect educational priorities, such as Blueprint2001: Training of Doctors in The Netherlands, the curriculum of the Task Force is intended tocompliment, not replace, these existing standards. The Task Force members understand thatlarge regional variations in disease prevalence preclude the development of an inclusivecurriculum for all medical students. This document is intended to serve as a resource that willprovide access to a wide range of important educational topics.

Educational PrioritiesEssential ophthalmic knowledge and clinical eye care skills are marked with a single asterisk *.This is basic information for all international medical students’ education. Skills and knowledgethat reflect a higher level of understanding are marked with two asterisks**. Although not basic,many medical schools may already include this material in their curriculum. Areas of advancedcognitive and clinical skills that are more appropriate for students who seek further training inophthalmology are marked with three asterisks***. While important to ophthalmic care, the TaskForce does not regard the cognitive or skill set designated with ** or *** as falling within thebasic curriculum of most international medical students. This material may form the basis for anophthalmology elective in medical school.

Hours in CurriculumThe Task Force strongly recommends that all medical schools include ophthalmology as a part ofthe essential curriculum and not exclusively as an elective. The increasing age of the worldpopulation, high prevalence of common problems such as eye injury and red eye, and importanceof vision in the information age support the need for the expansion of ophthalmic education. Toachieve this goal, the exact allotment of curriculum hours will depend on existing specificmedical school infrastructure and general curriculum. The Task Force strongly recommends thatsufficient time in the classroom and clinical setting be dedicated to mastering the learningobjectives and clinical skills that are labeled with a single asterisk * .We also strongly recommend that ophthalmic education should not be limited to the formalclassroom setting, but take place in the clinic and operating room. Each student should be givenan opportunity to observe common ophthalmic procedures, such as treatment of chalazion,removal of corneal foreign body, or cataract operation and to examine the anterior segment withslit lamp biomicroscopy. The Task Force estimates that the total educational commitmentthroughout medical school will require approximately 40-60 hours (or 5 to 8 days) exposure.

Specific Teaching Methods

Page 6: Principles and Guidelines of a Curriculum for Ophthalmic ...3. Primary eye care (including recognizing eye diseases) should be the responsibility of family physicians, as ophthalmic

SEMI-FINAL DRAFT 3/17/2006

Three teaching methods have traditionally been described to achieve ophthalmic educationalgoals: didactic lectures and clinical demonstration; illustrative case method study; andevidence–based medicine teaching (where ophthalmic education is paired with neuroscience,neurology, endocrinology and geriatric medicine). The Task Force recommends thatinternational medical schools employ all methods to achieve these broad educational goals. TheTask Force judges these teaching techniques to be complimentary and not competitive in nature.As the body of new information acquired through randomized clinical trials expands rapidly, theTask Force believes that the importance of evidence-based medicine will continue to grow.

ResourcesSpecific educational information available through several existing publications of the AmericanAcademy of Ophthalmology are referenced and identified to facilitate access.

Complete lectures on many important topics have been prepared by Professor Susan Lightman,Department of Clinical Ophthalmology at Moorfields Hospital, London, U.K., and have beenused as a part of the Curriculum for Undergraduate Medical Education. These self-containededucational units are presented in their entirety and may be accessed as identified.

The existing Blueprint 2001: Training of Doctors in the Netherlands is referenced. References(REF.) to images, figures, and charts from publications of the American Academy and others arelisted within the curriculum to facilitate access. This may particularly be of value for thosestudents who do not have ready access to printed reference texts. The Task Force recommendsthat this information be made available without charge to all students and teachers foreducational purposes. Additionally the Task Force recommends that the Basic and ClinicalScience Manual teaching materials provided by the American Academy of Ophthalmology andthe Undergraduate Medical Lecture Series provided by Professor Sue Lightman, Department ofClinical Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK, shall be made available toteachers and students all over the world though the ICO website: http://www.icoph.org/

surgery**o Understand the need for low vision rehabilitation*

XII. Refractive Surgery*** (This section is optional)

Educational goal: Students should understand the eye as an optical system and shouldknow how refractive surgery corrects common refractive errors of emmetropia, myopia,hyperopia, and astigmatism.

A. Refractive errors* 1. Myopia – long eye or steep cornea or both

2. Hyperopia – short eye or flat cornea or both\3. Astigmatism – uneven curvature of cornea4. Presbyopia – inability to focus at near due to aging

B. Types of surgical techniques to correct refractive errors***1. Incision – weaken cornea structurally to change curvature (REF. 21 FIG. J01, J02, J16)2. Lamellar – change cornea shape with addition or removal of tissue3. Thermal – shrink corneal collagen to steepen or flatten the anterior corneal curvatures4. Intraocular lens implantation with or without removal of crystalline lens

C. Newer procedures –with excimer laser***1. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) (REF. 21 FIG. J17,18)

2. Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) (REF. 21 FIG. J06-11, J13-15)

D. Effectiveness of refractive surgery***1. Continual improvement2. LASIK may be more predictable than Radial Keratotomy3. Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better in most patients4. Larger range of treatable refractive errors
