“Improving PGY1 Preparation for Independent Ophthalmology Practice: Non-Traditional Teaching Methods and Increased Exposure Preferred Over Integrated Intern Years”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116369

This study found that while integrated ophthalmology intern years may increase the self-efficacy of incoming PGY2 ophthalmology residents, adopting non-traditional teaching methods and increasing ophthalmology exposure during PGY1 year could better prepare incoming residents for independent practice.
