Fellowship Description:

The mission of the Duke Glaucoma Fellowship program is to develop in trainees a fundamental understanding of glaucoma diagnosis and management and to promote intellectual curiosity. We are dedicated to the principal that research into disease mechanisms, patient care, and new technologies is the primary method by which we improve the outcomes of our patients.

Over more than 25 years the Duke Glaucoma Fellowship has trained more than 50 glaucoma subspecialists. Duke-fellowship trained glaucoma subspecialists are a strong presence in the academic world. Former Duke fellows have become department chairs and endowed professors. Duke fellowship graduates are innovators in glaucoma surgery and are leaders in clinical care and research. The breadth and depth of clinical and research experience available in the Duke Glaucoma Fellowship provide trainees with the tools to succeed in a diverse array of careers in glaucoma care.

One and two year glaucoma fellowships are available. The first year is primarily clinical, with approximately 20 percent of the fellow's effort dedicated to research pursuits. We encourage fellows who are interested in an academic career to consider a second year with a focus on research. This year consists of a 25 percent clinical effort during which time the fellow functions as a junior faculty member with independent practice privileges. In the second year, 75 percent of the fellow's time is devoted to research, providing the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of interests in collaboration with Glaucoma Service faculty.
