Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has undertaken the ocular pathology rotation at Wills ? Could you please share your experiences and advise on any advance reading for this elective ?

Thanks

A colleague of mine did a rotation at Wills and loved it. Consider these online resources:

I am a 4th yr student and completed a one month ocular path rotation at wills. If you're a resident or a student there isn't much to do before showing up for the first day of the rotation. You'll get a binder with reading materials and a CD of all the slides you could ever need - definitely know that CD backwards and forwards and sideways! The days are pretty laid back - sign out in the morning on the teaching scope and grossing of globes then individual study time in the afternoon and some other specimen grossing. It's a great educational experience for both a student and a resident, not too stressful at all. Any other questions let me know!

Thanks a lot for that guys.
Appreciate it.
