Fellowship Description:

This 12-month fellowship is based at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) with activities at The Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC), Denver Health Medical Center (DHMC), The Children's Hospital (TCH) and outlying private clinics. The fellow will rotate through the corneal service of each of the major affiliated hospitals. Primary supervision of the corneal fellow is by Doctors Michael Taravella and Richard Davidson; other attending physicians from other ophthalmology specialties may be involved. Doctors Taravella and Davidson are members of the full-time faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

The primary purpose of the fellowship will be to gain educational experience in the area of corneal transplantation and laser vision correction. The goals of training will be to develop the appropriate clinical judgment in patient selection for corneal transplantation and refractive surgery as well as obtaining the surgical skills to perform these procedures effectively. An additional goal will be to obtain expertise in the area of cornea and external disease and management of common disorders relating to this specialty. Therefore, there is a cognitive as well as a technical skill level of expertise to be attained during this year of training.
