Competency Based Questions And Answers In Ophthalmology For Third Mbbs Professional Examination (PB)

The main objective of this book is to introduce to the undergraduate students the subject of ophthalmology in a simplified manner in the form of questions and answers. The new CBME curriculum brings with it a finely structured method of learning both theory and practical aspects of ophthalmology. Also, the upcoming pattern of evaluation is another overwhelming change that a student must gear up for NEXT. Keeping these two new developments in mind, the questions are framed using Bloom’s taxonomy verbs and the answers are written in a structured format using bulleted points to ease learning, understanding and memorizing.
