‘Chance favours prepared minds’
Presenting to the ESCRS Young Ophthalmologists’ session, Dr Nino Hirnschall MD, of Austria, provided delegates with an overview of the ophthalmology training resources available online, with their relative strengths, weaknesses and unique characteristics.
“The advantages of e-learning are the following: easy access to materials, their interactive nature, their continual availability day and night, their generally up-to-date revisions and the fact that they’re often free,” said Dr Hirnschall. “Further, chance favours the prepared mind.”
Dr Hirnschall divided the 13 sites into three categories. “After spending a lot of time looking at these sites, I’d like to share my opinions on these sites, whether ‘Excellent,’ ‘Useful’ or ‘Not Useful’ in my hands,” he said.
