Ophthalmology Fellows are the Most Advanced Students at UC Davis Eye Center After eight years of medical education, including three years of resident ophthalmology training, and eligibility for American Board of Ophthalmology certification, some ophthalmologists elect to continue their education with a postresidency fellowship program of one or two years. Medicine is becoming an increasingly specialized career, and these physicians choose to extend their education in order to prepare themselves for the most specialized practices in the field. UC Davis Eye Center is fortunate to have four fellows this year among its most accomplished medical practitioners. The ophthalmology fellows for 2011-2012 are: Melissa Tong, Glaucoma Fellow (one year). Faculty mentors: Drs. James Brandt, Michele Lim, and Annie Baik Brett Shapiro, Cornea Fellow (one year). Faculty mentors: Drs. Mark Mannis, Ivan Schwab, and Jennifer Li Saadia Rashid and Allan Hunter, Retina Fellows (two years—clinical practice and research). Faculty mentors: Drs. Lawrence Morse, Susanna Park, and David Telander In addition to advanced training, there is an important research component to most fellowship programs. Over the years, several of | 32 | Hail Fellow, Well-Trained our graduate fellows have gone on to assume academic positions in major universities around the country, including here at UC Davis. Two of our current faculty members, Drs. Annie Baik and Jennifer Li, completed their fellowship training here at UCD. Regardless of their career paths, UC Davis fellows leave the Eye Center as experts in their field of medical practice. Fellowship training adds an important dimension to the graduating ophthalmologist’s professional preparation, equipping the physician with the ability to provide highly specialized care. Moreover, the fellow provides an important addition to the layered Eye Center teaching program, providing yet another educational resource for our residents and medical students. With their up-to-the-minute training and their inquiring minds, fellows add a special challenge and sense of accomplishment for our faculty. We are fortunate to have such extraordinary people here at UC Davis.
