ORTHOPTIC CLINICAL PRACTICE AND THEORY II

Code: ORTH424

Credits: 30

Semester: Whole Session

This module develops the content delivered in year one relating to the investigation and management of concomitant and incomitant strabismus and amblyopia. On successful completion of the module students will be able to evaluate the investigation and management options for all orthoptic conditions in a clinical setting. The delivery of the module combines e-lectures, seminars, clinical placement and virtual placement resources in order to provide students with the necessary evidence based theoretical knowledge and clinical experience to work as an autonomous practitioner. The assessment strategy reflects both the theoretical and practical content embedded within the module with a written exam, a practical exam and clinical placement assessment being used to assess whether students have met the learning outcomes of the module.
