- In this video I will tell you about how as an ophthalmology resident in medicine I was able to match into oculoplastic surgery and I will go over some of the reasons how I matched into this competitive fellowship within Ophthalmology. Oculoplastic Surgery is one of the tougher fellowships to match into from ophthalmology Dash somehow I was able to do it and i will hopefully help you be able to as well.
I can see you being a great mentor in the future for someone 💕
thank though!
I've been watching your videos for the past year now and really appreciate the content. As an OD interested in ophthalmology, it's cool seeing your perspective during training. This video especially resonates, as it goes to show that being yourself holds high value in success. Awesome to see your channel growing.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for a wonderful video!! Even this video feels very genuine!! Good luck in oculoplastics!!
thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your video quality is on point. The information is useful. So thanks and I'm sure you'll grow a lot in the future.
Thank you! I keep trying to improve the video quality. And yes let’s hope we continue to grow 🤞🏼
Awesome Zac! Great advice to stay genuine to yourself!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Very insightful, the point about being yourself is so good ! It hit me.
🙏🏼glad it helped
This video is super high yield, thanks!
Also, can you please make a video discussing how to find a mentor, and going into detail into this relationship and what's expected of each side? 🙏🏼
Thanks! that’s a good idea for a video. I will put it on the list👍🏼
@@doctoreyeballmd7493 Nice!
You've got a Tim Ferris/Cal Newport/Ramit Sethi vibe to medicine. Great advice on being exceptional and standing apart from the pack
I know an attending in my country that match oculoplastics at Harvard in the 90s! The major hit in his application was his athletics skills and basketball awards!
Can’t wait to productively procrastinate with the rest of your videos
Great video and good luck to you! How old are you atm?
Very insightful. I didn't catch the one regarding Bill Gates, was he a mentor or did he have a good one?
Hey Doc,
Curious as to why you didn't choose Neuro-Ophthalmology?
I've noticed there's not enough of them around and the field has some really unique, rare diseases. Especially when it comes to peds or trauma-based cases... I've been having to explain my own disease a lot recently. Including to Residents...
Edit to add: I'm sorry. This isn't an attack on your choice. 😰 I honestly think your schema and listening to you talk through your individual concept formation is pretty neat. I'm just and literally, genuinely curious. ☺️ It sounds like this field was a really cool match for you.
no worries. it’s a great question. technically my fellowship is a combined ASOPRS plastics fellowship and neuro ophthalmology fellowship so I will be trained in both. I will however practice primarily if not exclusively plastics. The down side to neuro alone is the lack of surgical cases. And I do love surgery ;)
What was your step scores?
Can Those with ENT facial plastic do all procedures usually preformed by an oculoplastic surgeon?
I’m not super knowledgeable about the scope of ENT facial plastics but I would say that they could do most of to the things oculoplastics does. I don’t know to what extent they will do orbital surgery however.
