Clinical Skills

Medlink Practicals

Working in small groups, students will have the opportunity to obtain training and hands-on experience in the use of the ophthalmoscope and otoscope for the detection and diagnosis of some of the most common diseases of the eye and ear. For this purpose everyone will be given instruction and guidance in the use of the ophthalmoscope and otoscope.

Eye Clinic

Ophthalmoscopy is a procedure that allows a health professional to see inside the fundus of the eye and other structures using an ophthalmoscope. It is done as part of an eye examination and may be done as part of a routine physical examination. It is crucial in determining the health of the retina and the vitreous humour. It is also used to detect and evaluate symptoms of retinal detachment or eye diseases such as glaucoma.

Ear Clinic

An Otoscope is a medical device which is used to look into the ears. Health care providers use otoscopes to screen for illness during regular check-ups and also to investigate when a symptom involves the ears. With an otoscope, it is possible to see inside the outer ear and middle ear. Diseases which may be diagnosed by an otoscope include otitis media and otitis externa, infection of the middle and outer parts of the ear, respectively.

Post-Conference Opportunity

An especially exciting feature of this session will be the opportunity for further training and the chance to work in an overseas eye screening clinic sponsored by Medlink.
The opportunity for this additional clinical experience will be explained in detail at Medlink.
