Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus Fellowship – Program 4099
The Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus Fellowship offers an outstanding opportunity for the highly qualified individual to obtain extensive, high-volume medical and surgical experience in all aspects of pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. The program is developed to provide a comprehensive experience in treating a broad range of medical and surgical problems in strabismus and children's eye diseases, including amblyopia and strabismus, pediatric neuro-ophthalmology, retinoblastoma, pediatric cataracts, pediatric glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, and pediatric oculoplastics.
Children’s Health℠ Children’s Medical Center serves as the primary pediatric facility at our institution.
The Ophthalmology Service at Children’s Medical Center employs full-time academic orthoptists and ancillary support staff. Ophthalmology residents rotate through the high-volume Children's ophthalmology clinic, which handles more than 20,000 office visits and 1,700 surgical procedures annually. Thirty ophthalmologists (both full-time and clinical faculty) are on the Children’s Medical Center staff, including 10 pediatric ophthalmologists and 20 other ophthalmology subspecialists.
The fellow is involved in all aspects of pediatric ophthalmology at Children’s Medical Center including examination of patients in clinics, consults, surgery, and resident teaching. Extensive exposure to adult strabismus evaluation and surgery is an integral part of the fellowship at participating adult institutions, offices, and day-surgery facilities.
The fellow works closely with the program preceptors, as well as other pediatric ophthalmologists on staff at Children’s Medical Center and UT Southwestern clinical faculty. Additionally, the fellow will work with full-time faculty in other ophthalmologic subspecialties at Children’s Medical Center in the clinics and operating rooms.
Full-time and clinical faculty are actively involved in numerous ongoing clinical studies.
