Dr. Carla Bourne and departmental faculty

 

This course teaches the ophthalmic signs and symptoms of systemic medical disease through lectures and patient examination. It includes participation in clinics as well as observation of ophthalmic surgery. Students are expected to attend departmental teaching conferences. They must present and discuss an interesting patient they have seen during their rotation at our case conference during the last week of their rotation. The course is oriented to those students who are primarily interested in the specialties of medicine, pediatrics, neurology, and ophthalmology. On the first day of the rotation, report to Stacy Parker Deraps in the USF Eye Institute.
