Abstract
Purpose
To describe an ophthalmology wet laboratory (OWL) curriculum for residents in training.
Methods
Systematic literature review and selection of best practices for use in the OWL learning plan from a single academic ophthalmology program.
Results
A pretest and posttest of cognitive skills, objective wet laboratory structured assessment of skill and technique, and summative global evaluation form were developed as part of a systematic OWL curriculum.
Conclusion
The Iowa OWL curriculum may form the basis for successfully utilizing the wet laboratory to teach and assess aspects of resident surgical competence in cataract surgery.
