Program Director’s Welcome
Welcome to the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine Ophthalmology Residency Program. We are proud to offer a rigorous and immersive training experience designed to shape the next generation of leaders in ophthalmology. Our program builds on a long-standing tradition of excellence in developing outstanding clinicians, innovative researchers, and visionary leaders.
At the heart of our residency is a commitment to comprehensive, hands-on training that integrates cutting-edge clinical practice with personalized mentorship. We are equally devoted to delivering equitable, world-class eye care to every patient we serve.
Our residents benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, a dynamic and progressive surgical curriculum, and a collaborative learning environment grounded in collegiality, curiosity, and teamwork. Over the course of our four-year, fully integrated program, residents form strong, lasting relationships with our dedicated faculty—mentorships that support both personal development and professional achievement.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our program, our facilities, and, most importantly, our community.
