Ophthalmology Clerkship

Catalog description

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This clinical clerkship provides brief broad exposure to general and subspecialty ophthalmology at Stanford University. The clerkship consists of spending time in clinic, the OR, and teaching sessions. Rotation provides exposure at three clinical sites: Byers Eye Institute (Stanford), the Palo Alto VA, and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC). Stanford students will visit each of the locations over the course of the rotation, spending your first and fourth weeks at one site, and the 2nd and 3rd weeks at the other two locations. Visiting students will rotate at Byers Eye Institute (Stanford) and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, spending one week at SCVMC and 3 weeks at Byers.
