One position is available on a competitive basis each year in the Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota. We offer one full-time clinical fellowship position annually. The academic year is July 7 through July 6 yearly.

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 is begun. International fellowship applicants must have equivalent training and have passed the ECFMG examination.

How to apply

Our clinical fellowship position will be filled through the inaugural neuro-ophthalmology fellowship match which is part of the AUPO Ophthalmology Fellowship Match through the SF Match company. All AUPO compliant neuro-ophthalmology programs will be participating in this match and applications open in June with a deadline of Sept. 1.

To apply to our program, go to SF Match and register. You will then select “ophthalmology” under fellowship match (there is no separate “Neuro-ophthalmology” category, but you will have a chance to select Neuro-ophthalmology programs of your choice). Using this system, you can input your education, licenses and examinations, any employment, publications, honors, and awards. There is a brief required supplemental form as well. You will also be able to create a personal statement, request three letters of recommendation, and finally, select the Neuro-ophthalmology fellowships you would like to apply to, including ours.

Interviews will then be scheduled for the Fall and the match will then run in early December after all match lists are submitted.
