There is an opportunity to participate in courses through the Graduate Division of Biology and Biochemical Sciences. This includes courses in immunology and molecular biology. The goal of our fellowship it to train clinician-scientists who will be able to enter academic positions as uveitis specialists, with the ability to do basic research. This program requires a 'Restrictive Covenant' limiting the geographic options for future practice. In addition to childhood strabismus, the fellow will diagnose and treat pediatric glaucoma, developmental cataracts, lacrimal diseases, ROP and pediatric retinal disease, retinoblastoma, ptosis and oculoplastic disorders, orbital trauma, and pediatric neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
Opportunities are available for laboratory studies of strabismic monkeys.
The Eye Center also houses a complete infant electrophysiology laboratory and eye movement disorders center. This program requires a 'Restrictive Covenant' limiting the geographic options for future practice. Our goal is to develop skills and knowledge so the physician can care for all degrees of retinal problems and hopefully advance the understanding of retinal pathology. This program requires a 'Restrictive Covenant' limiting the geographic options for future practice.
