Residency Description:

The ophthalmology resident training program gives residents a broad comprehensive ophthalmology background and opportunities to gain experience in all subspecialty areas. Residents rotate through every service, work closely with faculty and fellows, and participate fully in surgery under the expert guidance of faculty. Residents are required to actively participate in clinical or basic research during their training.

The ophthalmology resident training program lasts three years with five residents appointed annually. Our program is poised to meet the needs of the changing face of today's health care. We aim to assure that residents receive a broad comprehensive background in ophthalmology and develop research skills to make them better clinicians. We want to assure our graduates are completely ready for whatever they may encounter in private practice or in further training in a subspecialty. We are committed to providing all our trainees with an appropriate and varied surgical experience to achieve competence as ophthalmic surgeons. With this commitment, we feel we have a moral obligation to our patients and the public to foster the highest moral and ethical behavior.
