Education

A Leader in Ophthalmic Education

At the Flaum Eye Institute, we offer education that encompasses all eye care subspecialties. Our aim is to provide residents, fellows and practicing eye care providers the most appropriate and up-to-date clinical skills and scientific knowledge.

The Flaum Eye Institute has a broad educational mission. Distinguished by its residency program which is growing in size and national stature, FEI also provides a host of other training opportunities including sub-specialty fellowships, research fellowships, medical student training and continuing professional education for ophthalmologists and allied health professionals. This is made possible through our clinical and research faculty of more than 30 who are working together to develop the most advanced diagnostics and treatments for a wide range of eye conditions. Our faculty members are actively involved in training tomorrow’s ophthalmologists, scientists and eye care professionals in the following areas:

• Anterior Segment
  • Cornea Disease
  • Comprehensive Ophthalmology
  • LASIK (Refractive Surgery)
• Glaucoma
