What is Implementation of microsurgery simulation in an ophthalmology clerkship in Germany: a prospective, exploratory study about?

## Background: Microsurgery is a growing field which requires significant precision and skill. eyesi surgical, which is usually introduced during residency or fellowship, is an ophthalmologic microsurgery simulator which allows users to practice abstract microsurgical skills and more specialized skills. the purpose of this study was to assess the inclusion of microsurgical simulation training during medical school. ## Methods: Seventy-nine german medical students in their 10 semester of education completed up to two days of training on the simulator during their ophthalmology clerkship. they received an objective numeric score based on simulator performance and completed pre and post training subjective questionnaires. ## Results: There was no relationship found between students' eyesi surgical performance scores and their specialty interests (p = .8). the majority of students (73.4%) rated their microsurgical skills to be higher after simulator training than before training (p < 0.001). 92.4% of students found the eyesi surgical to be a useful component of the ophthalmology clerkship. objective scores from navigation training level 1 showed that students achieved better results in
