Fellowship Description:

The fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus is for one year. It is clinically oriented with a major portion of the clinical material available in the practice of the fellowship preceptors. The fellow participates with the faculty members in the evaluation and treatment of children with a wide variety of ocular pathology and adults with strabismus. Approximately four days of the week are spent in these activities, with one or two days in the operating room. The fellow also participates in the screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity at the NICU at the Jackson Memorial Hospital approximately two hours a week and is in charge of a fellow ophthalmology clinic one-half day a week. Once a month the fellow observes exams under anesthesia of young children with retinoblastoma. The fellow's responsibilities include lecturing to medical students on the topic of amblyopia and binocular vision approximately four times a year. In addition, the fellow participates at grand rounds 3-4 times a year and organizes a pediatric journal club six times a year. Every other week the fellow attends lectures on pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus.
