• Didactic education
  • Attendance at all didactic educational experiences arranged for the resident as part of the ophthalmology residency program monthly lecture schedule.
• Surgical excellence
  • Attendance at all assigned surgical educational experiences arranged for the resident as part of the ophthalmology residency program clinical roster.
  • Attendance at all surgical conferences arranged for the resident as part of the ophthalmology residency program monthly lecture schedule.
• Clinical teaching excellence
  • Attendance at all assigned clinical educational experiences arranged for the resident as part of the ophthalmology residency program clinical roster.
  • Participating along with faculty in the direct supervision of junior ophthalmology resident and medical students,
  • Attendance at all clinical conferences arranged for the resident as part of the ophthalmology residency program monthly lecture schedule.
• Preparation and presentation of material in a well organized, current, and stimulating fashion as viewed by senior faculty, medical and graduate students and/or house-staff.
• A clinical role model and mentor for medical students and junior residents.
• Membership and participation in local, regional, and national professional societies.
• Presentation of research activities at local, regional, and national academic conferences.
