For those who may not have, this time around--I just wanted to inform you all of a new fellowship position being offered to medical students or MDs.
Pre-Residency Fellowship at Pacific Clear Vision Institute
Dr. Bala Ambati, is interested in recruiting a medical student or MD interested in a future career in ophthalmology for a 1 year fellowship with a 60% clinical, 40% research experience. Clinically, the fellow would be in clinic (cornea/refractive, cataract, plastics, retina, or glaucoma) assisting with patients, learning the elements of the ophthalmic exam, performing minor procedures, seeing interesting anterior segment pathology, and optimizing clinic flow. The fellow would scrub with ophthalmic surgical procedures (2-4 times/month). On the research side, the fellow would be expected to participate and facilitate ongoing clinical research projects such as research reviews and short case series. Pacific Clear Vision Institute is a 3 MD, 2 OD practice in Eugene, OR. For more information, please email
