OPHT 300A: Ophthalmology Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This clinical clerkship provides brief broad exposure to general and subspecialty ophthalmology at Stanford University. The clerkship consists of spending time in clinic, the OR, and teaching sessions. Rotation provides exposure at three clinical sites: Byers Eye Institute (Stanford), the Palo Alto VA, and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Students will visit each of the locations over the course of the rotation, spending your first and fourth weeks at one site, and the 2nd and 3rd weeks at the other two locations. It will offer a glimpse into a training program that differs from your home institution and will hopefully aid in your residency selection process. Credentialing: For visiting students, you will need to fill out the paperwork 6-8 weeks before the rotation begins. For students who are interested in more in-depth interactions in a subspecialty of ophthalmology, the OPHT 398A may be more amenable by providing a 1-on-1 preceptorship opportunity for four weeks. Visiting students must obtain preapproval to apply from Dr. Eubee Koo prior to applying for this clerkship. Please email requests to Brooke Byron at bbyron@stanford.edu. PREREQUISITES: Students must have access to some form transportation. At all sites, parking is free. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 4 weeks, 3 students per period.

OPHT 300E: Ophthalmology Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors.TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Does the thought of evaluating diplopia, eye pain, or vision loss in a patient give you palpitations? This is the rotation for you. Offers a hands on, comprehensive experience focused on sharpening clinical eye examination skills and rationally evaluating ophthalmic conditions and problems. Students will examine patients with a variety of common and uncommon eye conditions, teach patients about their eye diseases, and learn to recognize situations that warrant referral to an ophthalmologist. Learning is enhanced through digital imaging techniques based on anterior and posterior segment ocular visualization, as well as newer modalities such as optical coherence tomography. Location is in lovely wine country in Livermore, with a cottage available for lodging, so your commute is to walk across the driveway, avoiding the wild turkeys. In addition to educational materials supplied during the rotation, students can also access Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology 16th Edition, by Paul Riordan-Eva and John P.
