  • 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'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.

    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!

    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 ;)

    Can Those with ENT facial plastic do all procedures usually preformed by an oculoplastic surgeon?

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  3 роки тому

      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.
