The Jules Stein Eye Institute offers fellowship training to enable
particularly well-qualified persons to receive and contribute to
training in specific areas of ophthalmology. Clinical fellowship
training combines outpatient, inpatient and surgical experience
in an ophthalmic subspecialty. The fellow assumes increasing responsibility
for patient care, under the supervision of faculty members responsible
for the program. In addition to receiving instruction from faculty,
the fellow instructs medical students and residents. Research is
considered an important aspect of specialty training and a major
prerequisite for assimilating future developments in ophthalmology.
Fellows are expected to undertake independent investigation or to
participate in one of the ongoing research projects in a basic or
clinical field related to their specialty. Time is allotted appropriately
for this experience, and its value is enhanced by careful supervision,
availability of laboratory facilities, and access to technical assistance.
Clinical ophthalmology fellowships are offered by the Institute
in the following subspecialty areas:
