Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess how the University of Toronto Visiting Professors Rounds Series (UTVPRS) influenced the knowledge, perceptions, and clinical decision making of Canadian ophthalmologists. DesignLongitudinal cross-sectional. ParticipantsEight hundred and fifty ophthalmologists registered with the Canadian Ophthalmological Society. MethodsOnline surveys, using multiple-choice and reflection questions, were administered before and after online viewing of the University of Toronto Ophthalmology grand rounds as screencasts. ResultsAt 18 months, 124 users registered and watched 429 screencasts. Most participants found UTVPRS to be organized and user friendly. Mean prescreencast correct scores were 1008 versus 1288 postscreencast (p = 0.002). Postscreencast, 73% of participants replied in favour of changing future practice. ConclusionsUTVPRS was well received with demonstrated knowledge gain and potential practice change. The long-term and patient-related outcomes of the results require further research.
