Residency Description:

Bascom Palmer will provide the framework by which the optometric resident will become proficient in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease. This will be accomplished through dedicated hard work, individual clinical experiences, didactic education and self-study. In helping to achieve this goal, Bascom Palmer offers an environment in which each resident will experience many of the essential aspects necessary in becoming proficient in managing patients with secondary and tertiary ocular conditions. The optometric resident will work one day in a primary care clinic with the remainder of the week being spent working in the various subspeciality ophthalmology faculty clinics which may include medical and surgical retina, glaucoma, external disease, oculoplastics, and neurophthalmology services. This environment will allow the resident to develop excellent diagnostic and treatment skills as will as becoming proficient in advanced diagnostic techniques including fluorescein angiography, echography, visual fields, and laboratory testing.
