Emory University School of Medicine Program
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.
