ST-Competent Cataract Surgical Training - Phacoemulsification
The ST-Competent Cataract Surgical Training - Phacoemulsification programme at Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre is designed for practicing ophthalmologists looking to formalize and sharpen existing skills who want to build genuine, hands-on competence in National rather than just theoretical familiarity. The curriculum moves deliberately from wet-lab simulation to supervised live cases, with faculty grading each trainee against the ICO-OSCAR checklist at every stage so progress is measured, not assumed. The goal isn't just exposure to National techniques, but a level of comfort and judgement that only comes from repeated, supervised practice with honest feedback after every attempt. The programme is delivered at Susrut's own dedicated wet-lab facility, with real operating microscopes and simulation kits rather than shared or improvised equipment, so the practice environment matches an actual operating room as closely as possible.

- ➜Candidates from other countries are also eligible, subject to fulfilling the procedural formalities of the Medical Council of India.
- ➜Prior exposure to basic diagnostic instrumentation is expected, though prior surgical experience is not a prerequisite for entry-level batches.
Description
- ➜Faculty-to-trainee ratios are kept deliberately low throughout this programme so feedback stays specific and immediate rather than generic.

- ➜The SUSRUT training system has produced more than a thousand trained ophthalmologists across India and abroad, many of whom now train others using the same structured method.
