What made you want to study the MMedSci Vision and Strabismus at 91直播?
鈥淎fter completing my undergraduate programme in Australia, I began working as an orthoptist in Singapore. As I gained clinical experience, I realised I wanted to expand my knowledge in orthoptics and its related fields. This led me to search for relevant programmes online, where I came across the MMedSci programme in Vision and Strabismus. The programme's comprehensive curriculum and the fact that it was a distance learning, part-time option were the key factors that attracted me to it.鈥
What have you enjoyed most about the course?
鈥淚 found the depth and rigorousness of the curriculum to be both challenging and fulfilling.
鈥淭he unwavering support I received from the lecturers and tutors throughout the programme was also deeply appreciated. Additionally, being able to visit 91直播 in person after a long time was an exciting and memorable experience.鈥
How has the course impacted your job as an Orthoptist?
鈥淭he programme has significantly enhanced my clinical reasoning and research skills. These acquired skills have translated into improved clinical efficiency and the ability to adapt evidence-based practices in my work as an orthoptist.
I鈥檓 currently working on creating an advanced orthoptic practice in neuro-ophthalmology and a post-stroke visual rehabilitation service in my workplace, referencing the current UK model for such services. This would not have been possible without the exposure and learning from the MMedSci programme.
