Sayoko Moroi, MD, PHD: Welcome to our department at the Ohio State University. We have a wonderful team of faculty, staff, medical students, residents, and fellows.

There are three key drivers for our department. One: quality in clinical care and education. Two: innovation through clinical research, translational research, and basic research.

And three: growth to meet the population healthcare needs in Columbus and Central Ohio.

Ophthalmology Resident Director]

Andrew Hendershot, MD: At Ohio State, you will train and work alongside our outstanding faculty who teach, mentor, and form close and lasting relationships with residents and fellows. Our department has a variety of settings for residents and fellows to practice in. This allows for a wide range of learning opportunities at multiple clinical locations across Central Ohio.

Nayasha Madhan, MD: Coming from another strong Midwest ophthalmology program, it was pretty important for me to choose another program that really invested it in its residents. And from the get-go, OSU is my number one choice. And that decision honestly has been validated over and over and over again. And really, even in the first year, one of the major aspects I found is that we have a joint internship year, meaning our first year is internal medicine, and it's here at OSU. 

And so this year allowed us to get really familiar with things like hospital layout; it's been super helpful on-call. And then other things like getting to know the online medical record system. But it also allowed us to become friends with a lot of the internal medicine residents, and that has been super helpful to allow us to collaborate this year as we transition into our role as consultants.

Alyssa Darrah, MD: We are encouraged to make our residency experience our own. If there is an area we would like to focus more on prior to graduation, our faculty give us the support needed to attain our goals. The program director and the chair of the department are extremely receptive to feedback and have the residents' education as top priority.

Hendershot, MD: I think one of the special things about Ohio State, the training program here and the department, is willing to look after and care for those who don't have the best access to care. So we have a bimonthly free clinic that we actually host here in the department.

We also have a growing Global Health Initiative in rotation, which several residents have participated in the past, and we have new positions opening up for in the future.

Also, a number of our faculty and alumni go on mission trips and often take current residents or medical students along with them to help as a way to pass it on and pay it forward.

Moroi, MD, PHD: We look forward to having the opportunity to train you as future leaders in ophthalmology to improve health in Ohio and across the world.
