About

Background

Welcome to The Hub – Ophthalmology, the online resource and study guide for medical students learning about ophthalmology at the University of Toronto.

This online interactive tool was created in response to the student need for up to date, relevant and distilled resources to use for clinical reference and studying ophthalmology topics. This resource contains information and videos to prepare the medical student during their exposure to ophthalmology.

For each topic there may be clinical cases, videos, PowerPoint presentations, clinical decision rules, guidelines, quizzes, and references to use for learning and self-assessment purposes.

This resource is not an all-encompassing syllabus. For third year medical students please use other sources to fully prepare for the Ophthalmology examination (including course syllabus) as outlined on the Portal.
