Our program is structured to provide highly qualified candidates with training and education leading to superior competence in medical and surgical ophthalmology. At the end of a three-year training period, our graduates are competent to enter into the practice of general clinical ophthalmology. Many will be motivated to obtain additional subspecialty experience. Long Island Jewish and Queens Hospital Center, our component medical centers, serve populous areas in Queens, a borough in New York City, and adjacent Nassau County. We have a highly qualified teaching faculty and established clinics which attract large numbers of patients in both the general and subspecialty fields of ophthalmology.
Eligible applicants are final-year students and graduates of accredited medical schools.
Three PGY-2 positions are available each year for first year ophthalmology residents.
