Resident Research and Publications

Our residents are afforded a wide variety of research opportunities in both the clinical and basic sciences. Our affiliation with the Center for Vision Science and close relationship with the world class UC Davis Veterinary School afford our residents unparalleled opportunities in translational and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our PGY-3 and PGY-4 residents present their research to our department and local ophthalmology colleagues at our annual Research Symposium each spring.
