5. Preface: This log book is a guide which every third year medical / dental student will

require to use during Ophthalmology Rotation. The log book indicate areas which

students must pass through, number of ward rounds, clinics and theatre sessions to

be attended and lists the important topics / disease conditions students must know

before successful completion of rotation.

**THIS LOG BOOK MUST BE LEFT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF OPHTHALMOLOGY ON

THE LAST DAY OF ATTACHMENT.

Continuous assessment is structured into three portions comprising: attendance to

required areas (30%), case write up (30%) and OSCE (40%). Students are expected

to pass all components of continuous assessment before being recommended to

write the Final MBChB Professional Examination at Part 5.

It is our hope that this approach will ensure students attendance to clinical rotation,

provide students and teacher with a guide to expected training inputs and learner

outcomes, which ultimately will produce a medical graduate with adequate

knowledge, skill and attitude to provide primary eye care.

NB: Please note that the list of topics covered is no way exhaustive but allows the
learner to acquire a minimum body of knowledge within two weeks from which the
candidate can be assessed for competency and should be able to deliver primary eye
care.
