Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To determine current trends in resident laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) training in the United States, a comprehensive survey was sent to the residency coordinator, chairman, or refractive surgery director of all 113 ophthalmology training programs in the U.S. accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The response rate was 64%. Of the respondents, 54% were from programs in which residents performed LASIK surgery, typically as third-year residents; residents in these programs performed a mean of 4 LASIK surgeries (range 1 to 10 surgeries) during residency. The Visx Star was the most commonly used excimer laser platform and the Hansatome the most commonly used microkeratome. Most programs had 1 attending physician teaching the residents refractive surgery, which was typically performed at the main residency facility. Most programs had significant discounted pricing (>50%) for resident-performed LASIK. |
