Yes, I've seen it happen. I know a retina guy who went to PCOM, did his ophtho residency at PCOM, and then went to NRI (National Retina Institute) in Maryland for fellowship. Ask around, I'm sure there are more people like this. G'luck.

Thanks! That's very encouraging. I know through my readings that I love vitreo-retinal stuff. I think it's way cool and it's good to know that it's still may be an option for me (that is if I end up doing ophtho). Thanks!
