Retina Research Fellowship
The overall goal of this newly created retina research fellowship position is to help develop research and teaching approaches necessary to advance a future academic career. In addition, fellows will be provided exposure to the latest medical and surgical retina diagnostics and treatments.
During this one- to three-month-program, we combine clinical and translational research aiming to answer important clinical questions with the observation of surgery in the OR and the evaluation of patients in the clinic. In addition, fellows are encouraged to engage in available educational activities (retina course lectures, retina FA rounds, ophthalmology grand rounds). US and international candidates are welcome to apply.
Requirements
- Successful ophthalmology residency completion
- Two letters of recommendation
- Have adequate funding required for the duration of their training
