Overview of UT Southwestern Ophthalmology Residency Program with J. William Harbour, M.D.

Each year, our residents gain outstanding and rigorous clinical experience in the Department of Ophthalmology as a result of high surgery volume and clinical pathology. We accept nine residents each year.

We strive to provide the best ophthalmic education possible. Didactic lectures presented by our full-time and clinical faculty cover all the basic science and clinical topics, as well as lectures that help fulfill ACGME competencies in medical knowledge, professionalism, system-based practice, practice-based learning and improvement, and interpersonal and communication skills.

J. William Harbour, M.D., Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology, discusses the strengths of the department's training programs.
