The Medical College of Wisconsin neuro-ophthalmology fellowship program is a one year, AUPO-compliant program that will provide broad expertise in the subspecialty of neuro-ophthalmology.
This program will be guided by our five neuro-ophthalmologists. Our faculty include two neurology trained, two trained in both neurology and ophthalmology, and one ophthalmologist who is dual trained in neuro-ophthalmology and oculoplastics, providing ample exposure to a diverse group of faculty and a well-rounded experience with different approaches to neuro-ophthalmology.
The didactics of in our program include regular case conferences, neuro ophthalmic lectures, and monthly journal club. The fellow is also expected to help in providing lectures to residents and teaching them in the outpatient clinical setting. Fellows will take inpatient call along with a neuro-ophthalmology attending to allow for exposure to acute neuro-ophthalmic emergencies.
The Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, consisting of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Froedtert Hospital, and Children's Wisconsin, is the region’s only academic medical center. The campus is home to a Level I Adult Trauma Center at a nationally ranked academic medical center, a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center at a nationally recognized children's hospital and a medical college that is the largest research center in the Milwaukee metropolitan area and the second-largest in Wisconsin. As a result, the pathology seen by our neuro-ophthalmologist include some of the rarest conditions and the diverse catchment area allows for a broad spectrum of neuro ophthalmic pathologies.
