Research Requirement

Through the year, the fellow is required to undertake an investigative project which can be completed and submitted for publication before the fellowship is over. This is usually a new observation, a case series or report, a prospective study, or a review; it may be in any area of neuro-ophthalmology. The fellow usually presents this research at the annual North American Neuro-ophthalmology Meeting. 

The Neuro-ophthalmology Faculty are very active in research funded by the National Institute of Health, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and spend a portion of their schedule on externally funded research. They are committed to enhancing the fellowship training experience by mentoring and guiding research investigations. 

The following links to our faculty provide further information about their current research, teaching and clinical interest areas, including external funding:
