OBJECTIVE To survey graduates of an ophthalmology residency training program regarding skills necessary for a well-trained ophthalmologist. METHODS Two survey instruments were mailed to the graduates of the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology Residency Training Program. RESULTS Specific skills were identified that were rated as clinically important and for which training was considered adequate, and, conversely, skills that were rated as less important but for which training was adequate. CONCLUSIONS This survey instrument may allow ophthalmology residency training programs to identify perceived and real deficiencies in the prioritization of changes in curriculum or the skills transfer process.
