Abstract
Abstract Purpose of the article: The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions of teachers and students regarding modified practical modules in ophthalmology for undergraduate medical teaching during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based observational study was conducted, which included third-year medical undergraduate students and faculty. Separate Google forms were used for the students and teachers. Qualitative analysis of data was performed based on the responses of study participants. Results: A total of 83 responses from students and 8 from teachers were obtained during the survey period. Approximately 93.9% of students agreed that the practical modules enhanced their clinical knowledge. According to 18% of students, better teacher-student interaction was the strength of modules. Approximately 28% of students reported that lack of patient interaction was a weakness of the practical modules. Conclusion: Although the novel teaching methodology was well received by study participants, more similar studies should be conducted to ascertain the appropriateness of modified teaching techniques in medical schools.
