The PGY1 year offers a broad range of clinical experiences prior to beginning core training in ophthalmology in PGY2. Specific attention is given to those areas of medicine and surgery that relate most to ophthalmology, including endocrinology, neurology, neuroradiology, dermatology, rheumatology, and plastic surgery, otolaryngology, pediatric er, emergency medince, neuro-radiology and internal medicine.
The PGY2 thru PGY5 years constitute the four core years of ophthalmology training. The forty-eight months are divided into three sixteen-month cycles, each cycle consisting of eight two-months rotations. Each two-month rotation is subspecialty service based, with learning sites ranging from private offices, hospital clinics and ORs. Residents are exposed to each subspecialty in each of the three cycles, thereby allowing graduated learning and acquisition of skills appropriate for resident level of training. |
