1.	J AAPOS. 2012 Feb;16(1):75-9. Competency checklists for strabismus surgery and retinopathy of prematurity examination. McClatchey SK, Lane RG, Kubis KC, Boisvert C. Source Ophthalmology Department, Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, California; Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland; Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, California. Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate two checklist tools that are designed to guide, document, and assess resident training in strabismus surgery and examination of infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODS: A panel of staff surgeons from several teaching institutions evaluated the checklists and provided constructive feedback. All former residents who had been trained via the use of these checklist tools were asked to take self-assessment surveys on competency in strabismus surgery and ROP examination. A Likert 5-point scale was used for all evaluations, with 1 being the lowest rating and 5 the highest rating. RESULTS: Six experts in strabismus and seven in ROP rated the checklists. Their comments were used to revise the checklists, which were sent to the same group for reevaluation. The mean Likert score for the final checklists was 4.9 of 5.0 for both checklists. Of 16 former residents, 9 responded to the self-assessments with a mean overall score of 4.1 (of 5.0) for strabismus surgery and 3.9 for ROP examination. CONCLUSIONS: These checklist tools can be used to assess the quality of a resident's training and experience in these specific ophthalmology skills. They are complementary to other curriculum and assessment tools and can serve to organize the educational experience while ensuring a uniformity of training. Published by Mosby, Inc.
