Residency Program

The Ophthalmology Residency Training Program at the University of California, Davis is a fully accredited, three-year training program. Founded in 1970, the program has a long tradition of excellence in training outstanding physicians and surgeons.

Our residency curriculum provides a rich grounding in clinical and surgical ophthalmology through formal didactics, clinical rotations, research and early surgical experience. Our graduates are extremely well prepared to begin independent practice or pursue subspecialty fellowship training, and our alumni have gone on to successful careers in private practice, industry and academic ophthalmology. We are incredibly proud of the ways in which our residents and alumni have contributed to their local and national communities through exemplary clinical work, research and leadership.
