What is something you love most about this program?
The incredible diversity and complexity of pathology that residents see in their clinics daily is unmatched. Whether it’s on call, in the emergency resident-run clinic, or in faculty clinics, residents manage a wide variety of intellectually stimulating cases alongside faculty in every subspecialty of ophthalmology, ensuring excellent exposure and training for the rest of our careers. In addition, our longitudinal continuity clinics enable us to take full responsibility of our patients and truly learn the subsequent management of conditions, not just the initial diagnosis. This residency provided me with the tools I need to take care of any patient I encounter in the future.
