The Impact of Surgical Training on the Practice of Recently Graduated Ophthalmologists at Riyadh’s Ophthalmology Residency Program

ConclusionThis self-reported survey showed that the lack of adequate surgical exposure during residency training was the main reason of incompetency. This resulted in reduction of ophthalmologists’ future practice of surgical procedures outside the scope of their sub-specialty. This emphasizes that physicians mainly practice what they surgically acquire during their fellowship training.
