Ophthalmologists specializing in pediatric ophthalmology undertake this intensive fellowship after their medical school, internship, and ophthalmology residency training have been completed. It is the pinnacle of the medical educational process and provides the basis for a meaningful career in pediatric ophthalmology. We recognize this and strive to provide an outstanding training program. We accept one United States fellow and one international fellow per year. Fellows are selected on the basis of their academic credentials and personal character. Preference will be for applicants who will return to underserved areas, and for those with clinical research and teaching aspirations.
This Fellowship Program is a one-year program based at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with rotations at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It is an approved program, certified and monitored by the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). Training includes both hands on experience and didactic sessions. The fellow will have personalized interaction with program faculty, concentrating on clinical and surgical experience (with a strong attention to surgical technique).
