Residency Description:

Duke has been training excellent professionals in eye care since the 1940s and has graduated more than 400 ophthalmologists, with many entering into academic positions. The three-year residency program at Duke includes clinical and surgical training in each of the subspecialty areas as well as in comprehensive ophthalmology. Residents also rotate through local Veterans Administration Hospitals. A broad spectrum of intra-departmental and university-wide research opportunities exists for interested residents.

Through a unique elective program, Duke ophthalmology residents are able to spend a rotation during their final year of training pursuing an experience tailored to their individual research or clinical interests (whether around the country or around the world) to help jump start their future careers. Past residents have taken part in laboratory research, worked with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, and participated in international humanitarian eye care efforts.
