Blended learning is a combination of online training via our award-winning telemedicine platform Cybersight and in-person led by our Volunteer Faculty on the Flying Eye Hospital and in local hospitals.
Research shows that the blended approach is the best way to improve learning and the skills of eye teams in local communities. The approach involves becoming familiar with a technique online, answering questions and watching demonstrations.
This is then followed-up by watching one of our skilled volunteers perform the surgery on a live patient before testing your own skills under a controlled environment.
Amelia Geary, Program Development & Quality Director said. “Orbis has now started creating course content that can stand alone for online learners and can be accessed from anywhere, but is best when paired with hands on training in a blended learning approach.”
