To provide exposure to areas beyond its standard curriculum, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine offers mini-elective courses in various disciplines. We developed such a course to provide instruction in the basics of clinical ophthalmology to interested preclinical medical students. Methods First- and second-year medical students electively enrolled in our course (mean number of students per year = 12), which included four sessions combining didactics and hands-on learning. Additionally, each student individually spent time with an ophthalmologist in the operating room. Our course was held each year from 2015 to 2019. Results Participants completed pre- (n = 25) and postsurveys (n = 20), reflecting increased comfort with the ophthalmologic history and physical examination. In 2019, participants also completed pre- and posttests, demonstrating increased knowledge of ophthalmology.
