Curriculum Surgery and On Call

Surgical Volume
Residents who graduated in 2009 received substantial experience in: cataract procedures, strabismus surgeries, corneal surgeries, glaucoma lasers, glaucoma filters, vitreoretinal surgeries, retinal lasers, oculoplastics procedures, and open globe repairs. Residency graduates are fully equipped to begin a career in general ophthalmology or to pursue further fellowship training.

Call Schedule
The emergency room is covered by junior residents on a night-float system. In addition, junior residents work shifts on weekend days from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Intermediate residents take call from home on some of their rotations. In addition, intermediates work short shifts in the emergency room on evenings of the first two blocks to allow for junior resident teaching in the emergency room by the seniors. Senior residents take back-up call from home.
