This course is designed for students interested in ophthalmology as a career. Glaucoma is one of the most common clinical problems ophthalmologists encounter. Its diagnosis and treatment will be taught through participation in clinics and surgery. Attendance at departmental conferences is expected as is independent reading. Participation in a research project is encouraged. During the last week of the rotation, presentation of an interesting patient or the results of a research project at the departmental teaching conference is required. On the first day of the rotation, report to Stacy Parker DeRaps in the USF Eye Institute.
