New Retina Radio Journal Club w/ VBS: Assessing Surgical Competency Among Retina Fellows: Perspectives from Directors and Graduates

How do we know when a retina fellow is truly ready for independent surgery? Nikisha Kothari, MD, moderates a discussion with Jesse Sengillo, MD, and Nicholas Farber, MD, about a new survey study comparing perspectives from fellowship program directors and recent graduates on surgical volumes, teaching tools, autonomy, and competency benchmarks. The group explores areas of agreement, gaps in current training, and the push for more systematic assessment models in retina training.
