The ophthalmology residency at the University of Colorado focuses on the development of outstanding clinical and surgical skills. The experience of the residents is both broad and deep, with extensive exposure to the evaluation and management of ophthalmic diseases, common and rare.
The residents’ growth as ophthalmologists is assisted by a faculty dedicated to resident education, cutting edge research programs that keep them abreast of the latest developments, didactic teaching sessions that build a solid fund of knowledge, and busy clinic settings that balance autonomy and oversight so that residents can develop solid decision-making skills. At the end of the 3-year program residents will have a foundation that will allow them to become highly competent leaders in ophthalmology, whether in private practice or academics.
Throughout the three years of residency, the residents attend weekly basic science lectures and monthly journal clubs given by faculty to develop their fund of knowledge and their ability to review the literature critically. Weekly clinical conferences give them experience presenting cases as well as exposure to a variety of approaches in disease management. Organized “wet labs” guided by faculty allow them to hone their surgical skills prior to working on live patients.
As the only academic medical center for hundreds of miles, our residents have the advantage of working at a range of unshared university-affiliated hospitals. These include a tertiary care VA Hospital, a level 1 trauma center county hospital, a nationally recognized children’s hospital, and the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the University of Colorado. The high surgical volume and balanced clinical experience during the 3 years at these facilities is second to none. We are proud of our training program and our residents, and we constantly strive to maintain an environment that allows them to develop into skilled ophthalmologists.
