ACADEMIC PROGRAMME

  1. Grand Rounds take place each Monday and Thursday. We are fortunate to be exposed to a wide variety of pathology in our unit with its high patient turn-over. Ophthalmologists in private practice who join our ward rounds provide unique insights from their perspective.
  2. Early morning meetings: Research, computer and presentation skills are developed through our twice-weekly pre-ward round registrar presentations. At these sessions registrars present clinical as well as basic sciences topics to the other members of the department.
  3. Friday afternoon academic meetings consist of: 
    Registrar presentations, videos on interesting topics and general discussion of difficult/interesting clinical cases. Opportunity exists for examination of cases prior to the meeting by all clinicians. This is followed by a journal club session.
