Eye Care and the Medical Student: Where Should Emphasis Be Placed in Undergraduate Ophthalmology?

The views of three groups of British doctors on the content and duration of an undergraduate ophthalmology course were identified by means of a questionnaire. Non-ophthalmic hospital consultants considered the duration of a course should be approximately two weeks shorter than general practitioners and ophthalmologists. There were also significant differences in opinion between ophthalmologists and the other two groups on course content, but results indicated that emphasis should be placed on topics involving the identification of treatable sight-threatening conditions, and the primary eye care function of recognition and management of common external eye disorders.

The One

Doctors may need to identify an unknown treatment for several reasons: After an acute overdose the drug must be rapidly identified without waiting for time-consuming analysis. In hospital this emergency is not rare.Liaison between the general practitioner and hospital is often imperfect and either party may be unclear about the treatment the patient is receiving from the other. This is much commoner than overdosage.Most general practitioners at some time participate in an arrangement that involves a deputy. One doctor may then see a colleague’s patient without immediate access to the record card. Uncertainty about treatment in such circumstances is experienced by every general practitioner and many consultants seeing patients referred to them.Many patients take more than one kind of preparation: if one is to be changed, or its dosage altered, the patient must be certain which is the one affected.

Experiences Of Women

This chapter examines the experiences of women who studied at Irish medical schools and hospitals from the 1880s to 1940s. Previous research has suggested that the first generation of female medical students at Irish institutions had largely positive educational experiences and were treated in a paternalistic and supportive manner by their professors and fellow students, in contrast with their counterparts in Britain. However, in spite of this, it is clear that Victorian arguments against women studying medicine prevailed. In the student press, female medical students were presented as the ‘other’ and characterised as studious, bookish, cold, defeminised or alternately as obsessed or unconcerned with their appearances. It is clear, that although women and men were largely educated together for all subjects, with the exception of anatomy dissections, that women occupied a separate social sphere from the male students. Drawing on student magazines, Irish doctors’ memoirs, newspapers and the minute books of medical student societies, this chapter evaluates attitudes to women studying medicine and the educational and extra-curricular experiences of these women and how they fitted in within a very masculine sphere. In addition, this chapter will also explore women’s day-to-day student lives and the challenges they faced in pursuit of their education.

Deep Integration

In this chapter, two cases that include computer science (CS) instructors' integration of an online discussion platform (Piazza) into their courses were examined. More specifically, the instructors' perspectives and role in these cases were explored to gain insight that might enable further improvements. Employing a mixed methods research design, these cases were investigated with text mining and qualitative data analysis techniques with regard to instructors' integration strategies and students' reactions to them. The results of the study showed that among these cases, one entailed a deep integration (Case 1) and the other a shallow one (Case 2). Instructors' presence and guidance through their posting behaviors had a bigger effect than the nature of the course content. Additionally, TA support in online discussions helped address the limitations of the asynchronous discussion when the TAs had the maturity to only respond to questions for which they were adequately prepared.
