Teaching Ophthalmoscopy to Medical Students (TOTeMS) II: A One-Year Retention Study (P1.325)

CONCLUSIONS:Students preferred photographs for examining the ocular fundus and were more accurate using photographs vs. direct ophthalmoscopy one year after training. The increasing availability of non-mydriatic ocular fundus photography may allow more frequent and accurate examination of the ocular fundus by MS and non-ophthalmologists in many clinical settings.Study Supported by:Research to Prevent Blindness, NIH/NEI P30-EY06360, K23-EY019341 Disclosure: Dr. Mackay has nothing to disclose.
