In the pilot phase, an open-ended observation proforma was used by the authors to independently record their observations, which were later compared and discussed until consensus was achieved. All participants were asked to complete an online survey. A document analysis of accreditation documents was conducted. Observation data were broken down into themes and triangulated with online survey and document analysis results. In the implementation phase, the inspections were observed by one of the authors (SK) and the observation notes were discussed with other authors to obtain a contextual and consensual view. A document analysis of all accreditation-related documentation was undertaken. The documents included in the document analysis were planning and scheduling records, interview and inspection notes, training post inspection fact and document notices and accreditation reports. Finally, a post-inspection focus group of all inspectors was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The accreditation interviews adequately addressed all relevant issues with high levels of robustness and reliability. Participants found it more difficult to discuss complex issues virtually compared with onsite visits. The virtual accreditation reports were not any different to what would be expected if a face-to-face accreditation visit had been conducted; however, it was not possible using the virtual inspection to determine the appropriateness of facilities and clinic layout to support and facilitate trainee learning and supervision.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Virtual accreditation of training posts in medical specialist training is viable in limited circumstances where there are no known complex training post-related issues and the site has not made substantial changes to clinic and theatre layout, equipment and facilities since the previous accreditation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/ah22031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]],"date-time":"2022-05-30T21:53:10Z","timestamp":1653947590000},"page":"453-459","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Evaluation of virtual accreditation of medical specialist training sites for ophthalmology in Australia and New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2688-1355","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Santosh","family":"Khanal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ARoyal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, 94\u201398 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Glen","family":"Gole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARoyal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, 94\u201398 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Kaufman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARoyal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, 94\u201398 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"67","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121501081850000_R1"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R2"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"965","DOI":"10.1038\/eye.2011.120","article-title":"Postgraduate ophthalmic training: how do we compare?","volume":"25","author":"Chan","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eye"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R4"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R5"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"891","DOI":"10.3109\/0142159X.2013.805878","article-title":"Twelve tips on how to set up postgraduate training via remote clinical supervision.","volume":"35","author":"Wearne","year":"2013","journal-title":"Med Teach"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2014-006444","article-title":"Remote supervision of medical training via videoconference in northern Australia: a qualitative study of the perspectives of supervisors and trainees.","volume":"5,","author":"Cameron","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1623","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2013.1011","article-title":"Ophthalmic Surgical Simulation: A New Era.","volume":"131","author":"Gillan","year":"2013","journal-title":"JAMA Ophthalmol"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1737","DOI":"10.1038\/s41433-020-0832-1","article-title":"A systematic review of simulation-based training tools for technical and non-technical skills in ophthalmology.","volume":"34","author":"Lee","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eye"},{"key":"2025121501081850000_R10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"218997","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2020.3041736","article-title":"ABET Accreditation during and after COVID19 -
