Fellowship Description:

The Department offers a one year clinical fellowship in deseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous. The fellow is hired as a faculty member at the instructor level and works closely with the Department's full-time retina faculty.

Because the fellowship is limited to one year, the primary emphasis is on clinical training. The fellow's time is spent primarily in retina clinic and surgery. The fellow is exposed to and responsible for the interpretation of fluorescein angiograms, OCTs, and is responsible for screening infants for ROP at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The fellow also participates with the senior ophthalmology residents in the care of patients from the Veterans Administration Hospital. In addition, the fellow is expected to share in the general faculty call schedule approximately one week every two months.
