Program Highlights

What Sets Kellogg Apart?

Listen to our residents explain what sets the U-M Kellogg Eye Center apart from other programs.

Why do residents choose the University of Michigan ophthalmology residency program?

• Depth of the program: every subspecialty is represented and each clinical service has multiple faculty on staff.
• Outstanding faculty who teach, mentor, and form close and lasting relationships with residents.
• Residents from U-M are competitive and go on to highly ranked fellowships
• A seven-week rotation for research. Many programs require a research project, but U-M Kellogg provides dedicated, protected time to pursue research.
• Faculty are talented and leaders in the field, but they are also friendly and approachable. That’s “unbeatable,” said one resident.
• The program is structured so that residents gradually assume increasing responsibility. There is no call during the first six months, for example. By the third year residents are prepared for ophthalmology practice or an academic fellowship.
• Residents value the experience gained at Ann Arbor’s VA hospital. During the 3rd year, they have a full case load of surgeries, but always with guidance and support from attending faculty.
