Our Lectures and Symposia
Morning Lecture Series
The morning lecture series presented by faculty members makes up the core didactic component of the Ophthalmology Residency Program. Topics are developed with resident input at the beginning of each academic year. The lectures are designed to augment daily reading assignments and cover the subspecialty areas of cornea, retina, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, uveitis, optics and cataract surgery. Lectures are held Monday through Friday from 7–7:45am August through March.
Grand Rounds
Weekly Ophthalmology Grand Rounds sessions are held on Thursday mornings from 8:00–9:00am in the Eye & Ear Institute Conference Room. Presentations are given by attending faculty, fellows, residents and graduate students. Attendance is open to anyone who would like to participate. For those unable to attend the live presentations, we provide video streaming for virtual attendance. Please contact Meredith.Hess@osumc.edu for more information on how to participate remotely.
