Ophthalmology is one of 37 specialty profiles represented in the didactic and clinical experiences offered as part of the curriculum at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

It is during clinical electives that Brown medical students rotate on the ophthalmology service to expand their interest, medical knowledge base, and basic clinical skills. Students contemplating ophthalmology as a career are strongly encouraged to participate in other clinical electives and opportunities to interact with faculty members.

Since 1975, nearly 100 Brown Medical Students have successfully matched to ophthalmology residencies across the country, including some of the most competitive programs.

Under the current direction of Division Chief and Interim Residency Program Director Michael E. Migliori, MD, FACS; Associate Residency Program Director Wendy Chen, MD, PhD; and Director of Medical Student Education Nicole Lanza, MD , the Division of Ophthalmology provides a broad educational experience for its residents and medical students and recognizes that the program's success depends as much on the quality of its residents and medical students as it does on the quality of the faculty.
