Residency Description:

The Residency Training Program in Ophthalmology at the Boston Medical Center has been designed with the goal of producing comprehensive clinical ophthalmologists who possess not only clinical knowledge and surgical skills, but also the judgement, confidence, and independence to succeed in a variety of career choices. Graduates have been successful in obtaining coveted clinical fellowship and research training positions. They have become expert clinicians in all areas of the country. Many have achieved recognition in academic ophthalmology, and several have become department chairmen. We strive for the breadth and depth of experience necessary to prepare our graduates for whatever future they may choose.

The Residency Training Program in Ophthalmology at Boston Medical Center is ideal for the energetic, highly motivated, self-propelled and inquisitive physician who wishes to gain wide experience and clinical expertise in ophthalmology. The resident assumes responsibility for the care of patients with a wide spectrum of ophthalmic disease, mastering the skills required for ophthalmologic diagnosis and treatment, and performing laser and surgical procedures under the tutelage of a committed faculty in a wide variety of settings.
