Ophthalmology Basic and<br />

Clinical Science Course<br />

Course Chairman<br />

Bartly J. Mondino, MD<br />

This course is a major segment of the<br />

education program for ophthalmology<br />

residents, as well as a review<br />

course for ophthalmologists. Sections<br />

Focusing on specific topics in clinical<br />

ophthalmology, study groups meet<br />

regularly under the leadership of faculty<br />

members who are acknowledged<br />

specialists in their respective fields.<br />

The study groups are an integral part<br />

training programs and serve as<br />

an informal resource for practicing<br />

ophthalmologists in the community.<br />

Fluorescein Angiography<br />

Arranged by the clinical fellows in<br />

vitreoretinal studies, this conference<br />

convenes periodically to review current<br />

angiograms representing disease entities,<br />

unusual abnormalities, and controversial<br />

interpretations of angiographic<br />

findings. Steven D. Schwartz, MD, and<br />

other members of the Retina Division<br />

supervise the conference.<br />

Glaucoma Weekly Conference<br />

This conference is designed to teach<br />

residents and fellows a basic understanding<br />

of the pathophysiology and<br />

clinical care of glaucoma. Faculty,<br />
