Hey folks,
Just found out I will be commencing my postbacc studies in a few weeks and while it's a long ways off, I figured I'd stop by and just ask a quick question to all of you regarding ophthalmology.
My understanding is that ophthalmology is still one of the most competitive residencies out there and that the retina fellowships are even more sought after than the ophthalmology residency itself. For those of you who were fortunate enough and did well enough to match into ophthalmology, I'm curious to know as to how important any fellowship is when considering a career in ophthalmology? Did many of you enter the residency with plans of eventually completing a fellowship?
