ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To systematically evaluate the quality of ophthalmology training in India.METHODS:
Questionnaires were sent to existing medical schools and accredited training institutions. Institutions were followed up thrice to obtain responses. Data were analysed using Stata 8.0.RESULTS:
Responses were received from 128 (89.5%) of the 143 institutions. Each year, 900 training slots were available across the country. Faculty student ratios were better in accredited training institutions than in postgraduate medical schools. Fifty three (41.4%) of 128 institutions subscribed to more than 2 international journals. Fewer than 1 in 6 institutions conducted research projects. 11 (8.6%) institutions reported more than five publications in international peer-reviewed journals over three years. Only a third of the responding institutions had a wet lab.CONCLUSIONS:
There is a need to improve the training facilities and optimally utilise the infrastructure available in postgraduate medical schools.
