University of Rochester Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our residency program is one of the first to transition from a traditional general Resident Clinic model for seeing patients to an Urgent Eye Care Clinic model thus improving resident exposure to pathology and improving patient care/satisfaction. Brand new, state-of-the-art wet lab with full simulation suite available to all PGY1s to PGY4s. Broad patient exposure in both urban and rural settings.
