When you come to the Krieger Eye Institute you become part of a
residency program that combines the virtues of quality patient
care and compassion with the resources of a major community
hospital. Since 1946, the Department of Ophthalmology has
embraced growth, community service, research, and resident
education.
As a resident at Sinai, you will find that we take a deep
interest not only in your training but also in your future. We
prepare each resident to become a first-rate clinician and we
also provide training that will allow you to accept a fellowship
position if you choose to do so. We select our residents with a
view towards developing a relationship that reaches far beyond
the three-year training period. In addition, Baltimore’s
diverse and dynamic culture enriches the years you will spend
here.
Ophthalmology residents at Sinai join an extraordinary program
in an outstanding environment. The academic components of your
training are enhanced by our faculty which spans all the
subspecialties of ophthalmology. Residents receive superb
training in the basic skills expected from an ophthalmology
residency including cataract surgery, corneal disease, glaucoma,
neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastics, pediatric ophthalmology,
retinal disease and uveitis. In addition, our ASOPRS
Oculoplastics and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship adds depth
to the educational experience of the residents.
Our Department is committed to training world-class
ophthalmologists and we look forward to residents who will one
day join our exceptional group of alumni. We welcome you and
your family to join us at Sinai and are excited to once again
offer our free-standing ophthalmology residency program.
