20.500.12556/DiRROS-29098 Competency-based European training requirements for the specialty of ophthalmology recommendations from the UEMS section of ophthalmology and the European Board of Ophthalmology Purpose: Ophthalmology encompasses comprehensive medical and surgical care for patients with diverse visual system disorders, significantly impacting eye health, vision, and quality of life. European ophthalmologists undergo specialized residency training to acquire necessary competencies, emphasizing theoretical knowledge, clinical and surgical skills, and professional behaviour. The European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) and the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) advocate for competency-based medical education (CBME), standardized training frameworks, and harmonized assessments across Europe. Methods: In 2023, a survey among European ophthalmologists demonstrated broad consensus on establishing unified training requirements. Subsequently, a Core Working Group developed European Training Requirements (ETRs) for ophthalmology, detailing curricula, subspecialty rotations, and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) across a structured four-year residency. Results: These ETRs, formally approved by UEMS in October 2024, incorporate simulation-based training, workplace-based assessments (WPBA), and innovative evaluation methods such as electronic portfolios. Certification as a European Specialist in Ophthalmology involves passing rigorous summative assessments, including the European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma (EBOD) examination. Training institutions must offer substantial clinical exposure, robust infrastructure, and comprehensive educational resources. Faculty support, continuous quality assurance, regular audits, and clinical governance frameworks are essential. Conclusion: The ETRs also highlight the importance of interprofessional collaboration and encourage subspecialty expansion in emerging areas like ophthalmic oncology and global ophthalmology. Designed as a dynamic, "living document," the ETRs will evolve with scientific and technological advancements, supporting high-quality ophthalmic education and practice while respecting national diversity and sovereignty. attitude competency curriculum education entrustable professional activity knowledge logbook ophthalmology professionalism skills odnos kompetenca učni načrt izobrazba zaupanja vredna poklicna dejavnost znanje dnevnik dela oftalmologija profesionalnost spretnosti true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-04-21 09:10:21 2026-04-21 09:10:22 2026-04-22 04:04:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Soavtorica iz Slovenije: Barbara Cvenkel; str. e204-e215 issue 2 Vol. 104 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 617.7 1755-375X 10.1111/aos.17575 246841603 RAZ_Prior_Filipe_Helena_2026.pdf RAZ_Prior_Filipe_Helena_2026.pdf 1 0753061DC471B9D03C9E32F8C45AF92B ace29a8a292c303dd986e28d97494aa2acb0480fbf51aa854f59c5454ff314ad 44bf36a7-3d51-11f1-a343-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43473 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aos.17575 1 2a328bc2-3d51-11f1-a343-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43472 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
