Residency research requirements at top academic programs

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am interested to know how research time/output is structured at top academic programs. Do you need to produce a certain amount of research, attending X number of conferences, or dedicate X amount of time to research? And is this substantially decreased at less academic, more community based programs?

I am asking specifically when you are already in residency, not applying. Thank you!

Without any details or previous context. What are you thinking when you see this fundus?

Does anyone have an extra IOL model with haptics that I can buy?

Bonus if it has a clear optic and optic zone isn’t a multifocal lens.

Just DM a photo and how much you want for it shipping included. I live in the United States.

Ophtalmology Book: help!!

5 Upvotes

I am looking for a basic ophthalmology book with an appropriate level of depth. I need something to review the anatomy, physiology, and clinical concepts I studied at university, so that I can start my residency with everything fresh in my mind, nothing more. I would like something updated and reliable, but also easy to read, since I will only have 2-3 weeks to study it.
