| DEPARTMENT OF OPHTHALMOLOGY AND VISUAL SCIENCES |
Instruction begins in the first year with examination of the eye and a lecture on various aspects of ocular disease. During the second year, all students receive (via e-mail) the “Ophthalmology Case Studies,” and these cases are reviewed in a “lecture/feedback” session. During the third year, students are given the opportunity during the surgery block to spend four weeks on the ophthalmology services. In addition, during the third year there are lectures given to students during the Internal Medicine rotations. All students work on Washington University’s “Case Studies for Medical Students.” The emphasis is on ocular manifestations of common systemic diseases, ocular trauma and common eye diseases such as cataract and glaucoma. In the fourth year, four-week clinical or research electives are offered.
