Residency Description:

The Ophthalmology Residency Program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center is a three-year course of study, with four residents accepted annually. Training takes place on the two campuses of the Montefiore Medical Center encompassing the Weiler Hospital, Jacobi Hospital and the College Eye Institute on the East Campus, and the Sol and Evelyn Henkind Eye Institute, the Laser Clinic and the General Eye Clinic on the West Campus in New York City.

The Resident Training Program focuses on general ophthalmic outpatient care, inpatient consultation, subspecialty tertiary care and ophthalmic laser and surgical skills. Residents rotate through well-supervised outpatient facilities and see inpatient consultations on both campuses.

Subspecialty training begins in the first year and eventually includes rotations in ophthalmic pathology, cornea and external diseases, pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, oculo-plastic surgery, contact lenses, low vision, neuro-ophthalmology, glaucoma and retina and vitreous disorders. An educational program in each of these subspecialty fields is incorporated into the Department's in-house basic science and clinical ophthalmology course.
