It is our goal in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Medical College of Georgia to prepare each of our residents for entry into subspecialty fellowship training or private ophthalmology practice. We accept 3 residents per year for a 3 year course of training.
The educational program includes a number formats. Grand rounds occurs on most Monday mornings and attendance is required for all faculty and residents. The presentations are resident driven. A schedule is drawn up with 2 residents presenting on any given morning. They are responsible for identifying patients in the on-call clinics, continuity clinics or from their rotations, speaking with the associated faculty member and then presenting their case. On the first Monday of each month ethics and M&M conference share the time. Morning lectures are given by faculty members from Tuesday through Friday. In general there are no weekend lectures. During the year significant members of the ophthalmic community may be invited to our visiting lecture series. There also are 2 an invited lecturers to our annual Resident-Alumni Meeting. Six to 8 times per year relevant journal articles will be presented by the residents in journal club meetings. There is a micro-surgical skills lab and beginning each year in April a formal teaching course occurs taught by the faculty and senior residents to teach the first year residents skills in operating under a microscope. The first years are required to attend and there are certain required benchmarks for them to meet.

Each of the 3 years are divided into 4 month
blocks providing training in the
various subspecialties. At the
end of each rotation evaluations of the resident’s performance are done and
the results reviewed with each resident by the program director or
assistant program director. In the spring of each year all residents participate in the
Ophthalmology Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) in-training examination. An award is given to the highest scoring resident in the first two
years of training.
