During the second year, residents rotate through 3 subspecialty services: retina, neuro-ophthalmology, and pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus. On these rotations, residents work closely with faculty and are responsible for the inpatient, outpatient, and surgical management of all patients on their service. The second-year retina rotation, for example, includes 2 days per week in the operating room at University Hospital, where the resident is first assistant on all vitreoretinal procedures. The remaining 3 days are devoted to the outpatient clinical care, under the supervision of the full-time faculty. The resident evaluates patients with retinal disorders, provides laser photocoagulation for retinal vascular disease, and interprets fluorescein angiograms. Given their level of responsibility and close working relationship with the faculty, residents on the subspecialty rotations function essentially as clinical fellows.
