4 1. Introduction The National Specialist Register (NSR) has been established to assure quality care to the public by determining the professional standards expected of specialists in their respective fields. Specialists are credentialed on fulfilling the training requirements and have the required competencies stipulated by the relevant specialty sub-committees. The Specialty Sub-Committee of Ophthalmology has defined the criteria for credentialing as an ophthalmologist. To be registered with the NSR, the candidate must have satisfactorily completed the training programme and demonstrated clinical competence. The following requirements need to be fulfilled: i. Registration with the Malaysian Medical Council and possession of a current Annual Practicing Certificate ii. Possession of any postgraduate qualification in ophthalmology registrable with the NSR iii. Satisfactorily completed 6 years of recognised training in ophthalmology of which at least 2 years is after obtaining the postgraduate qualification These guidelines deal with the training to be undertaken by trainees enrolled in a recognised training programme. It is a review of the previous handbook and is effective from 1 st January,
5 2. RECOGNISED SPECIALIST TRAINING The total duration of training shall be a minimum of 6 years. The trainee must pursue 4 years of postgraduate training leading to the award of a recognised qualification, followed by 2 years of supervised training. 3. LIST OF RECOGNISED POST-GRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS (i) Sarjana Surgeri (Oftalmologi), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Master of Surgery (Ophthalmology), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) (ii) Sarjana Oftalmologi, Universiti Malaya (Master of Ophthalmology, University of Malaya) (iii) Sarjana Perubatan (Oftalmologi), Universiti Sains Malaysia (Master of Medicine (Ophthalmology), Universiti Sains Malaysia) (iv) Any other equivalent qualification can be considered for recognition by the Specialty Sub-Committee of Ophthalmology on a case-to-case basis provided all training requirements and any other requirements as determined by the specialty sub-committee have been fulfilled. 2

16 ASSESSMENTS Assessments are carried out throughout the masters program from Year 1 to Year 4. Assessments serve as a guide to the trainee on what should be achieved at different stages of the training. It also provides the trainee a means to communicate any problems faced throughout different stages of the training pertaining to the course. These continuous assessments will be performed at specific intervals. 1. Supervisor s report (at least twice a year) 2. End of rotation assessments (including medical and elective postings) A log book is an official document which records information about all the surgical and laser procedures that has been done by the trainee. The log book should initially be submitted along with the case reports, one month before the Part II examination and again before the Final Assessment. The initial submission is for the supervisor to recognize any deficiency in the trainees surgical training so that it will be rectified during the final year. Trainees are recommended to use the Specialist Training in Ophthalmology Personal Record and Surgical Logbook that can be obtained from the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia. This is to ensure the continuity of the log book after the trainee graduates and undergoes gazettement and may later undertake the subspecialty training. It will also facilitate registration with the National Specialist Registry. The logbook can be purchased from the academy. 13
