Positions

One position is available on a competitive basis each year in the Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida.

Qualifications

Completion of an accredited residency training program in ophthalmology or neurology and eligibility for certification by the American Board of Ophthalmology or the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology is required before the fellowship begins. International fellowship applicants must have equivalent training and have passed the ECFMG examination.

Requirements also include an active Florida Medical License prior to matriculation into the program.

Note: J1 visas are only supported for neurology residency graduates (not ophthalmology residency graduates at this time). See the Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) homepage for alternative options. Admissions requirements are subject to program-specific board, state licensing, and ECFMG guidelines.
