Special Features & Unique Opportunities
Our program is small enough to be personal and large enough to give a great experience with a wide array of ophthalmic conditions. Our rotations include a level-one trauma center, a national renowned children's hospital, and a VA hospital. We have specialists in all sub-specialties of ophthalmology which is a unique opportunity for learning. Milwaukee offers big city amenities in a smaller package (pro sports, arts and entertainment, great dining, shopping, and many festivals on the lakefront)!
