SURG G720 - Ophthalmology
Credits: 2
This two week rotation is designed for medical students who wish to become familiar with ophthalmology as a medical and surgical specialty. During the rotation, students are expected to learn the principles of the ophthalmic history and physical examination. Students will become familiar with the most common ophthalmic conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and strabismus. They will also have the opportunity to work with subspecialists within the field of ophthalmology. Students will see a wide variety of ophthalmic pathology and become familiar with all that ophthalmology has to offer as a career. The students will be given the opportunity to use specialized ophthalmic instruments including direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes, slit lamps, tonometers, and ultrasounds. They will be exposed to advanced testing performed in the office and observe surgery if interested. For students interested in an ophthalmology residency, this rotation will be a stepping stone on that path. For students not interested in an ophthalmology residency, the rotation will provide invaluable insight into ophthalmology as it relates to primary care as well as other specialties. The focus is integrative care of the patient.
