Residency Description:

The Residency Training Program in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of California, Davis has developed into one of the primer training programs in the country. This is due to dedicated faculty, outstanding facilities and early and intensive surgical training. This training is designed to produce a mature, well-rounded, surgically outstanding comprehensive ophthalmologist who is well prepared for independent practice or further subspecialty training. Residents from the program graduate with a very diverse surgical experience and are typically in the 95th percentile or higher in surgical volume. Based on the prime importance of one-to-one teaching, the resident is given the opportunity to work closely with faculty in all areas of general and subspecialty ophthalmology and, in addition, is provided opportunities for independent management and decision making. The program provides the resident interested in either full-time clinical ophthalmology or clinical/ academic ophthalmology with the opportunity to flourish in an atmosphere which is both rich clinically as well as concerned with the educational development of the resident in training.
