Description
Mayo Clinic’s one-year fellowship in Rochester, Minnesota, combines clinical and surgical training with faculty-supervised research in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. Special emphasis is placed on pediatric and adult strabismus, pediatric cataract, and pediatric neuro-ophthalmology. Training also covers amblyopia, pediatric glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, and pediatric plastics and lacrimal surgery in a high-volume tertiary and quaternary referral practice.
The one-fellow model provides close mentorship and graduated autonomy in managing common and complex conditions. Fellows participate in scholarly activity and present work at national meetings, supported by experienced faculty and Mayo Clinic’s research infrastructure. The program aims to develop clinicians, surgeons, educators, and future leaders prepared for academic medicine, hospital-based practice, or private practice.
