Course Description The goal of this course is to provide third year medical students with an introduction to the field of ophthalmology as practiced by ophthalmologists. It is hoped that students with an interest in ophthalmology who lack previous exposure to the field will take this opportunity to learn basic principles and decide if this could be a possible career choice. The students will spend time in the resident clinic and the private faculty practices observing and learning the basic ophthalmologic exam. There will also be ample opportunity to visit the operating room and observe various types of eye surgery. The students are expected to attend all resident lectures, conferences, and specialty rounds during the rotation. Written coursework may be included. The students will be evaluated at the end of the course by the course director.
Where To Report Chief Resident will contact you with information prior to start date.
Requirements THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS ONLY.
