This is a 1-year uveitis fellowship, which provides clinical training in all aspects of uveitis, including uveitic cataract surgery and medical management with immunosuppression. Fellows will learn how to diagnose and manage diverse uveitic conditions, with an approximately even split between conditions primarily affecting the anterior and posterior segment. A second year, focusing more on research, may be available when appropriate. Ongoing research programs include clinical trials, epidemiologic projects, and laboratory-based studies in infectious and inflammatory ocular disease. Fellows have clinical rotations with Drs. Acharya, Gonzales, Doan, and Shantha. Our fellows successfully compete for positions in academia and private practice.
To apply, please visit the SFMatch website at www.SFMatch.org, and follow the SF Match application instructions. The application deadline is September 1, 2016.
Please note that we are not able to appoint J-1 visa holders since they cannot acquire medical staff privileges to practice in our clinics. Also, if you are a US citizen that has graduated from a foreign medical school, it must be one of the schools recognized by the Medical Board of California. Additionally, you must meet the minimum requirements to apply for a California Medical License. See this page for more information.
