INTRODUCTION TO THE VISUAL SYSTEM

NEUROL 735

Overview of the major categories of human neurological and opthalmological disease to fundamental topics in neurobiology.

OPHTHALM 750

An integrated approach to basic aspects of the mammalian visual system from anatomy and molecular/cellular biology to current and future therapeutic treatments of common ocular disorders. Seven general areas being covered include development and anatomy of the eye, physiology of the visual system, immunology and ocular surface diseases, retinal diseases, glaucoma, and translational approaches to vision research.

OPHTHALM 919

In-depth exposure to ambulatory ophthalmology, operative ophthalmology, subspecialty clinics, working under the direct supervision of Ophthalmology faculty, residents, fellows. Complete other patient care related learning activities as assigned by instructors (e.g., literature reviews, presentations on specific topics); these are dependent on the individual student, attending physician, and clinical site. Each student's schedule individualized to meet each location's capacity and student preference.

OPHTHALM 910

Independent research under the direct supervision of Ophthalmology faculty. Each student's research project is individualized to meet student research goals within context of faculty research needs.

SURGSCI 741

Provides experience in ocular examination, problem solving skills, and formulation of diagnostic and therapeutic plans for animals presenting with eye disease. Ocular examination as part of the complete physical examination and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases are emphasized.
