Series Overview

Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Grand Rounds provides a forum for discussion of interesting cases of ophthalmic diseases as seen through the lens of clinical care, research, and education. Residents, fellows and faculty engage in weekly presentations with the goal of providing healthcare professionals with enhanced knowledge as well as new strategies that will lead to modified practice and improved patient outcomes. Each year, our Grand Rounds welcomes a number of international and national visiting professors as well as regional experts, including on the topics of low vision, public health, faculty development and wellness. Our Grand Rounds' series of Frontiers in Vision Research includes translational research and its clinical applications with our new science and disease focused lectures. The inclusion of these basic science research presentations in the Grand Rounds translate into four full-hour-long sessions, consisting of a combination of two research-clinical presentations and two purely research presentations. Participation by clinicians, scientists, residents, fellows, medical students, clinic staff and other employees is encouraged to allow for rich discussion on clinical cases from multiple perspectives. 

Target Audience

Ophthalmology and partnering clinical and research faculty (MD, DO, PhD), ophthalmology residents, fellows, medical students, undergraduate and graduate students, local and regional ophthalmologists, veterinary ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, technicians, medical assistants, low vision specialists, and other clinic staff.
