Resident
training
The clinic is always staffed by an attending
neuro-ophthalmologist. Residents and fellows evaluate the patients and present them to the clinic. Each patient stimulates discussion concerning the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of their illness. There is a strong interest in neuroradiology and residents are instructed on the evaluation of CT and MR scans. Residents are responsible for the hospitalized patients on the
neuro-ophthalmology service and perform ophthalmological and neurological work-ups including lumbar puncture, if necessary, on these patients. In addition to the educational opportunities centering about the patients, there are formal neuro-ophthalmological lectures as part of the overall educational program and
neuro-ophthalmology patients included in Grand Rounds presentation. The curriculum for the
neuro-ophthalmology subspecialty training in the residency includes a weekly out-patient
neuro-ophthalmology clinic, patients hospitalized from clinic, and daily telephone or in-person consultations of
neuro-ophthalmology patients seen in either clinics or the Emergency Room at The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary or Beth Israel Hospital.
