Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship Program
Overview
The Penn Neuro-Ophthalmology clinical fellowship is supervised by Drs. Grant Liu, Kenneth Shindler, Madhura Tamhankar, Robert Avery, Ahmara Ross, Ali Hamedani and Adam Kruszewski, members of the Division of Neuro-Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania, and accepts applicants who have completed residency training in either Neurology or Ophthalmology.
Since 1994, the Neuro-Ophthalmology Program has trained almost three dozen fellows, most of whom have current positions at academic medical centers. These individuals represent many of the field’s young leaders in clinical neuro-ophthalmology and in clinical and basic science research. They have been involved in producing some of the most important findings in the field of Neuro-Ophthalmology during the past two decades.
