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.

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

   In addition to these materials, please include:
