The Department of Ophthalmology has active laboratory programs in both basic and clinical research in most subspecialty areas. Residents are encouraged to participate in research activities commensurate with their skills, backgrounds and interests, to report interesting and informative cases to appropriate journals, and to complete an annual clinical or laboratory research project for written and oral presentation at Resident-Alumni Day. Moonlighting is allowed with certain restrictions. Moonlighting cannot interfere with official duties at any time. Insurance coverage for the House Staff is provided by the Texas Medical Association.
Dependent coverage is available at an additional cost.
The Ophthalmology Department provides professional malpractice insurance while performing official duties only at the teaching hospitals. Moonlighting is not covered.
