Surgical Fellowship Program Surgical Fellowship Program
Our Fellowship Program was organized to help promising young ophthalmologists from foreign countries improve their practical skills and broaden their perspectives of ophthalmology. Fellows are expected to bring the acquired knowledge and skills back to their home countries and take part in programs to preserve vision and prevent blindness.

Funding
We offer one or two years ophthalmology training in several subspecialties. Our foundation gratefully recognizes grants, gifts, and pledges to our Fellowship Program. Funded Fellowships may be awarded to young ophthalmologists from developing countries who are committed to enhancing ophthalmic education and patient care in their home countries.
