Fellows help organize fluorescein angiography conferences, journal clubs, and weekly retina service meetings. Clinical Facilities Fellows divide their clinical time among Parkland Hospital, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, St. Paul Medical Center, Children s Medical Center, The Aston Ambulatory Care Center, John Peter Smith Hospital, and the Dallas VA Medical Center. Except for the VA Hospital and John Peter Smith Hospital, all are within the same campus and physically connected. Therefore, transit time is minimal. Laboratory Facilities Laboratory facilities are available within the medical center for animal experimental, imaging and spectroscopic studies, computer modeling, molecular and cell biology, enzymology and electrophysiology.
Fellows have the opportunity to join into ongoing research.

Of these, the residents do all the general ophthalmic workups during four half-day retina clinics per week. Faculty referral clinics generally schedule around 20 patients per half-day.
