2nd
Year
The second year resident will continue with continuity clinics,
however, increased exposure to subspecialty services is stressed.
Rotations in Cornea/Glaucoma, Oculoplastics/Neuro, and VAH are equally
divided into four month blocks. An introduction to intraocular surgery
including cataract extraction (extracapsular and phacoemulsification
techniques), glaucoma filtering procedures, and retinal lasers will
occur as the resident gains experience, confidence, and skill. The
second year residents also take on an increasing responsibility
in 1st year resident education. The Consult Service cares for those
patients in the Emergency Room and Inpatient settings at both the
VAH and Palmetto Health Richland (PHR) Hospital. During the spring
of second year, the residents attend the Wills Eye OKAP review course.
Following a six-week period in which call is shadowed with a 1st
year resident, primary call will be shared equally between the 1st
and 2nd year residents. |
