Fellowship Description:

The fellowship program of the Glaucoma Service of the University of Nebraska Medical Center provides individuals with a comprehensive understanding of glaucoma. Fellows diagnose and manage patients with complex glaucoma problems and learn the methods of clinical research applicable to glaucoma. Participation in clinical trials evaluating the effect of promising new agents for glaucoma therapy is encouraged. An opportunity for basic scientific laboratory research also is available.

The fellowship is designed so that all clinical fellows will have a broad experience, including clinical care, surgery, teaching, and research. The surgical training includes "hands-on" experience with advanced techniques of laser, ciliodestructive procedures, valved shunts, filtration procedures with anti-scarring agents, and congenital glaucoma procedures. The purpose of the fellowship is to train physicians to become knowledgeable and skillful experts in glaucoma, with encouragement to become academic leaders by providing the necessary philosophical, scientific and technical grounding. This is a one year fellowship.
