These two-hour lectures are organized to coincide with the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Basic and Clinical Sciences Course. Once a week during the academic year, didactic lectures on ophthalmology are presented. Ed Stone's molecular ophthalmology rounds on Tuesday nights. Other services such as retina have formal conferences, such as Fluorescein conference on Monday afternoons, and Dr. Discussions center on patient care but also cover other areas such as communication, ethics, and systems based care. These conferences focus on interesting patients that presented that day. Some services such as glaucoma, cornea, neuro-ophthalmology, and pediatric ophthalmology have 'chart rounds'. The cases and discussions presented by Residents and Fellows at Grand Rounds are often further developed and published as case reports and tutorials on .Īfternoons are, in general, reserved for rotation-specific conferences. Discussion by the faculty and house staff follows each case. During rounds, residents and fellows develop their public speaking skills by making presentations. All residents and staff attend unless operating or engaged in acute medical care. Grand rounds are held Monday through Thursday from 8 to 8:45 a.m. The Fellowship is sponsored by the Department of Ophthalmology at University of Iowa. The fellowship is approved by and monitored by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowships are not accredited by the ACGME. Our fellowship graduates are both community practitioners and faculty members at academic medical centers. Our goal is to produce competent and compassionate practitioners with the clinical judgment and skills required of an oculoplastic surgeon. The patient populations we serve provide a rich experience in functional, cosmetic, and trauma-related eye surgery.

Fellows will receive training in the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases of the eyelids, orbit, and lacrimal system. The overall objective of this fellowship is to offer an exceptional blend of clinical opportunities and research experience in an academic setting. This training program is designed to provide exposure to all aspects of ophthalmic plastic surgery. Our fellowship is a 2-year ASOPRS approved fellowship.
