Fellowship Description:

The Cornea, Refractive Surgery, and External Disease Fellowship is an intensive one-year program, during which approximately 85% of the time is spent doing clinical care; the remaining time is available for research. Most fellows will spend this time performing clinical research with a preceptor, including reviews, case series, and book chapters. The Fellowship Match # for this one-year program is 728.16.

Fellows with a serious interest in research and academia (basic or clinical) can elect to take an additional 'customized' year to dedicate primarily to their research and academic development for completion of our two-year Advanced Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Match # for this two-year program is 727.81. Prospective fellows wishing to pursue a research year are encouraged to contact Dr. Dana, Director of the Service, at their earliest convenience.

The fellow's responsibilities include examining patients in the Cornea Service, taking call, providing consults to Massachusetts General Hospital inpatients, responding to patient requests for information or assistance with medical needs, being available for emergency visits, assisting in corneal and refractive surgery, and other tasks as required to provide comprehensive corneal care. The fellows are also required to attend lectures and prepare and deliver case presentations in Cornea Rounds or Department-wide Grand Rounds as needed.
