Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward This module will consist of a series of clinical lectures and hands-on clinical workshops. Specifically, grand rounds will be used to assess and discuss cases with complex binocular vision problems, that require examination by a BV-specialist (i.e. beyond primary care level). In-depth case discussions and differential diagnosis will be used to encourage students to take a logical step-wise approach to managing such complex cases of oculo-motor problems of the visual system. In order to stimulate collegial but critical discussions, students will be assigned to small tutorial groups. In addition, self-directed learning will be encouraged and additional reading material such as newly published peer-reviewed articles will be made available, e.g. through GCULearn.
