Fellowship Description:

The Vitreoretinal Fellowship of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Harvard Medical School was established in 1977 and offers comprehensive training in the surgical and medical management of diseases of the retina, vitreous and choroid. This is accomplished through extensive opportunities for hands-on participation in subspecialty clinics and in vitreoretinal procedures under the supervision of the Retina Service faculty.

The mission is to train highly motivated individuals to become leaders in the field. The two-year fellowship is unique in that it provides an intense clinical experience while allowing ample time to engage in significant academic pursuits. As a result, the fellowship has been successful in producing extremely well trained vitreoretinal specialists who also have experience in basic or applied ophthalmic research. The Vitreoretinal Fellowship has graduated numerous professors of ophthalmology, retina service directors, academic chairpersons, and a dean of a medical school. In addition, many private-practice based retina specialists are also among our graduates.
