Ophthalmology Interest Group

The mission of the Ophthalmology Interest Group is to introduce medical students to various aspects of the field of ophthalmology. Although the curriculum provides an introduction the eye, students are not exposed to the clinical practice of ophthalmology or the multitude of career paths within this multifaceted specialty. OIG will bridge the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice. Early exposure to the field of ophthalmology is particularly crucial due to the early and competitive nature of the match process. We aim to serve as a liaison between interested students and ophthalmology residents and faculty.
