Kasr Al-Ainy OPHTHALMOLOGY for the undergraduated 2nd Ed (2022) by PDF

Description

At the beginning of the academic year 2017/2018, our department adopted a revolutionary approach to undergraduate teaching of ophthalmology. Following the principles of outcome-based medical education (OBME), we focused on arming the future clinician with useful knowledge and practical skills. This book was only one item on a long list of changes that the department made to the entirely new undergraduate curriculum. The first edition of this book was very well received by our colleagues and our students. Few other ophthalmology departments in Egypt and abroad have aspired to adopt a similar approach in their undergraduate teaching. The positive feedback that the department received, plus some constructive criticism, encouraged us to thoroughly revise the book before sending the second edition to the printing press. In the second edition, we omitted a few points that we felt to be too specialized for the future general medical practitioner, who is our primary target. Some points were added, and others clarified. Most importantly, however, is that the majority of the figures in the previous edition were replaced with photos belonging to our department and its staff members. While many subtitles were highlighted to facilitate memorization, the logical new sequence of topics, as modules, remained the same. The reader-friendly, clear, and concise format was kept, and the size of the bqok r�mained unchanged. We hope that this edition will be welcomed as warmly as its predecessor. The editor
