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 />

Study Groups<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 />

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 />
