The Third Annual Residents,
Fellows and Alumni Meeting took place on May 20-21, 2006, at the
Shiley Eye Center. The presentations were highly informative and
made the meeting a great success. The UCSD School of Medicine
offered Continuing Medical Education credits for the physicians
as well.
Each of the UCSD Department of Ophthalmology Residents, American
and International Fellows and some alumni presented original research
encompassing a broad variety of topics. Over fifty Shiley Eye
Center alumni from around the world attended. Leah Levi, M.D.,
Professor and Director of the Ophthalmology Residency Program,
was the main moderator of the event.
Jack Rootman, M.D., Professor, Departments of Ophthalmology and
Visual Sciences, and Pathology, University of British Columbia
and the Vancouver General Hospital delivered the “Stuart
I. Brown Lecture”. The lecture, titled “Recent Advances
in the Understanding and Management of Vascular Malformations
of the Orbit”, provided insight into new advances in the
complex field of vascular lesion management.
A celebratory dinner was held on Saturday, May 20th at the Hyatt
Regency La Jolla for the graduating residents and fellows. Several
awards were given for outstanding ophthalmologic research to residents
and fellows in all of the specialties. All at the Shiley Eye Center
are proud of the residents, fellows and alumni who have continued
to make extraordinary discoveries and research in the field of
ophthalmology. The event was sponsored by Bausch and Lomb, Alcon,
Eyetech and NeoMedix, Inc.
