About This Program
The Ophthalmology Residency Program at Emory is unique in the breadth of clinical experiences to which the resident is exposed. The resident cares for patients in a variety of settings, including a busy county hospital outpatient clinic, a busy VA clinic, Emory's Eye Center, and the Arthur M Blank Children's hospital. Residents function as the primary provider in these clinics with close faculty supervision, culminating in a graduate able to handle any setting or pathology.
