Clinical rotations for residents in the ophthalmology residency program are two months long and include general ophthalmology and all the subspecialties, inpatient consultation, and ophthalmic pathology. All take place at the Kellogg Eye Center, the UM Hospitals, and the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center, which is a half mile from the Eye Center. A typical day begins at 7:30 a.m. in the O.R. or in the clinic and ends with didactic lectures or Journal Club in the evening.

Grand Rounds
Every Thursday morning residents present and debate complex cases with the faculty, with case selection rotating among the subspecialties. Once a month Grand Rounds contains an ethics discussion and once a month we have a complications conference.
