Fellowship Programs: Welcome/Program Goals

Welcome to the University of California San Francisco Department of Ophthalmology and Proctor Foundation. We are very proud of our fellowship programs and outstanding fellows. We train fellows in cornea and uveitis. We place high priority on the training of our clinical and research fellows, committed to fostering the careers of the next generation of ophthalmologists, educators, and clinician-scientists. Many have gone on to obtain their top choice position in academia, industry, or ophthalmic practice. In concert with our residency program, we strive to train the future leaders in ophthalmology.

Within each fellowship, the objectives are to train outstanding ophthalmologists in the subspecialty area of their choosing by exposing fellows to a wide variety of expert clinical and surgical approaches for complex and more straightforward ophthalmic diseases. In addition, fellows are provided close and dedicated mentorship with faculty and co-mentors with an eye towards career pathway development. Fellows are also exposed to research opportunities in order to hone skills needed as lifelong learners.
