Simulator-based Medical Skill Training Clinical Trial
Official title:
Direct-Ophthalmoscopy-Simulator-Study
Evaluation of a digital simulator to train diagnostic skills in Ophthalmology
Direct Ophthalmoscopy is an important tool to detect pathologies e.g. on the optic nerve
head. The training of the needed skills is made conventionally in most cases. In such the
training sessions students examine each other after dilating one pupil. Examining of patients
with pathologies is very important, but in many cases not very easy without any experience.
Simulators are of growing impact to teach diagnostic or surgical skills. A digital simulator
with virtual reality technology is used to teach the skills to unexperienced examiners. The
head-eye-hand-coordination can be trained without any stress.
