The Marilyn Huheey, MD and Fred Kapetansky, MD Lectureship Fund was established on April 10, 2015 with gifts from Dr. Marilyn J. Huheey. Dr. Huheey and Dr. Kapetansky were assistant clinical professors in the department of Ophthalmology and attendees at the annual Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) conference for over 30 years. They both enjoyed learning about new concepts and research and sharing what they learned with their patients.
Proceeds from the Huheey/Kapetansky Fund support educational activities of ophthalmology residents, specifically to cover costs of attendance or presentation at the annual ARVO conference and Grand Rounds presentations or lectureships by resident or fellow attendees to medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, clinicians and other professionals.
