The Duke Ophthalmology residency program is one of the most highly regarded ophthalmology programs in the nation, training highly competent and ethical physicians who can contribute to their field either as comprehensive ophthalmologists or as subspecialists. During their time here at Duke, residents enjoy a supportive environment in which to develop their knowledge and skills at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, one of the country’s most livable cities. Here you will find some of their great adventures.
