Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Fellowship

The Medical College of Wisconsin Fellowship in Orbital and Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is a 2-year, ASOPRS-accredited program that provides broad experience in all areas. Core faculty include 6 full-time academic oculofacial surgeons with diverse expertise in orbital surgery, eyelid reconstruction, aesthetic facial surgery, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric oculoplastic surgery and comprehensive oculoplastic surgery. Secondary faculty in ENT/Facial Plastic Surgery, Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, Dermatologic/Mohs Surgery, Neuroradiology, Radiation Oncology, and Ocular Prosthetics provide training during rotations in the second year. Fellows have MCW faculty Instructor status, and the program is primed for ACGME or AUPO accreditation should ASOPRS pursue either path.

The MCW-Froedtert Hospital-Children’s Wisconsin consortium is the only academic tertiary facility and Level I Trauma Center serving eastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. Clinics, operating suites, and faculty and fellow administrative offices are centralized within the Froedtert/MCW Eye Institute, which is contiguous with the adult and pediatric teaching hospitals. The regional Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center, located 4 miles or 10 minutes from the Eye Institute, is a major site of fellow-supervised resident surgery.

The didactic program includes regularly scheduled Oculoplastics Case Conferences, Oculoplastics Lectures, and interdisciplinary Facial Trauma Conferences, Craniofacial Conferences, and Adult and Pediatric Tumor Boards. The fellow is a major contributor in all forums. The fellow also supervises the resident cadaver dissection course. Orbital imaging studies and surgical specimens are reviewed with Neuroradiology and Pathology faculty. Clinical research and publication by fellows is encouraged and mentored by faculty.
