Virtual Reality/Simulation Training
Over the last 10 years, Anu Khanna, MD, the Vice Chair of Education of the Department of Ophthalmology, has made a concerted effort to study and develop educational tools that enhance experiential learning for medical students and ophthalmology residents.
This has led to the establishment of a state-of-the-art Stereo Learning Center at the Stritch School of Medicine. The Loyola Ophthalmology residency program integrates simulation into the clinical education of all residents.
First year ophthalmology residents have built-in protected simulation time to enhance their anatomical understanding and hone their clinical exam skills by using the EyeSim and EyeSi simulators. All residents participate in interactive labs using simulation technology to understand clinical pathology.
