Fellowship Description:

The applicant may chose to apply for a one year clinical fellowship or a two year clinical and research combined fellowship. During the first year of the clinical/research fellowship program or the one year clinical fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology, the fellow is immersed in clinical care. This experience entails a relatively intense exposure to neuro-ophthalmic patients in the clinics of Drs. Alfredo Sadun and Peter Quiros at the Doheny Eye Institute. Additionally, the fellow supervises the neuro-ophthalmology clinic at the LAC+USC Medical Center. The neuro-ophthalmology program also exposes the fellow to a considerable amount of surgery and procedures. Typically, there are six cases per week in which the fellow is expected to participate. Approximately, one-third of these cases are in orbit, one third in paralytic strabismus, and one-third in ocular plastics. In addition, the fellow participates in twice monthly blepharospasm/Botox clinics. The neuro-ophthalmology fellow also participates in the teaching program and, together with residents rotating through this service, prepares for one to two conferences in neuro-ophthalmology per week.
