Residency Description:

The Residency Training Program in Ophthalmology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine is approved for four residents per year for a period of three years and satisfies the training requirements of the American Board of Ophthalmology. The clinical training includes rotations at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital Center, and the Bronx Veterans Administration Medical Center. First-year residents work up all inpatients and outpatients, take night and emergency calls, assist in the operating room, and receive an introduction to ophthalmic surgery. Responsibility for patient management is progressively transferred to residents. Second-year residents concentrate on various subspecialties with rotations on strabismus, neuroophthalmology, consultations with other services, corneal disease, glaucoma, ocular pathology, etc. During the third year, residents have the opportunity to learn and practice all surgical techniques and to receive concentrated instruction in the field of retinal disease. Opportunities for research are available during all three clinical years.
