Discussion on the Teaching Methods of Ophthalmology Training for General Practitioners in Tertiary General Hospitals

Abstract

General medicine is an emerging secondary clinical discipline that aims to serve the society and family health management, and it plays a key role in hierarchical diagnosis and treatment. General practitioners are the leading providers of primary medical services and are responsible for comprehensive work such as diagnosis, treatment, preventive care, health record management, and referral of common and frequently-occurring diseases. They play an essential role in the health care system, providing comprehensive medical services to communities and families to improve people’s overall health. Developing and promoting general medicine are significant to establishing a sound medical and healthcare system, and improving primary medical services. Therefore, general practitioners require a broader range of knowledge than specialists, and the training model also differs from that of specialists. Given the short training time and heavy teaching tasks for ophthalmology, this article will combine the professional characteristics of ophthalmology to explore the application of appropriate teaching methods in a short period in order to achieve exemplary teaching results. In this process, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the professional characteristics of ophthalmology and the limitations of general practitioner training time, and discover appropriate teaching methods to improve the teaching effect and ensure the all-round development of students.
