Fellowship Description:

The Retina Service was instituted in 1960 by the Board of City Trusts as the first specialty service at the Wills Eye Hospital. Since 1960, the Retina Service has been instrumental in training over 100 retinal fellows in the diagnosis and management of retinal and vitreous diseases. These past fellows are now in practice in all parts of the United States and Canada, as well as in Puerto Rico, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

The Retinal Fellowship Program combines surgical duties with clinical and academic responsibilities. The Retina Service presently offers a two-year combined medical/surgical fellowship. The fellowship begins on July 1st each year and is completed two years later on June 30th. Scheduled hospital obligations generally extend from 7am - 6pm, daily. There are occasions when the schedule may run past 6 pm. Fellows are allowed to schedule two weeks vacation in each year of the fellowship.
