Residency Program

Welcome to the Kresge Eye Institute residency. Our residency is a large metropolitan based program that provides primary and subspecialty ophthalmic care to the under served in the city of Detroit. Highlights of our program include a busy adult resident clinic that generates large volumes of anterior segment procedures. There is a significant exposure to a large pediatric population at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Residents spend multiple rotations at the John Dingell VA Hospital where their experience provides numerous anterior segment procedures to that patient population. A residency at the Kresge Eye Institute exposes the trainee to all aspects of comprehensive and subspecialty ophthalmic care. The experience is an intense 3 year total immersive experience. The ophthalmology residency training program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The program has 7 residents each year. Kresge Eye Institute uses the central application service of the San Francisco Match Program (www.sfmatch.org)

Rotations

Kresge Ophthalmology Residents complete 7 rotations each academic year. Residents have the opportunity to rotate with faculty on all subspecialties throughout the program. The Kresge Eye Institute Resident clinic and Walk-in clinic is our residents’ home base. This clinic provides invaluable hands-on experience for all our residents, with a wide variety of ocular pathology coming through our clinic. The Walk-in clinic is staffed by several different attending physicians, with specific half-day ophthalmology sub-specialty clinics to expose our residents to wide array of patients through all their training.
