Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship

The ASOPRS Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine consists of two years of post-residency training in the Department of Ophthalmology under the direction of Michael Yen, M.D., Katherine Williams, M.D., Ph.D., and Debra Shetlar, M.D. One ASOPRS affiliated position is available every other year commencing July 7. The next availability is for year 2024.

The fellowship provides clinical fellows with subspecialty training in the areas of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery and orbital surgery. The majority of this clinical training occurs when working in the clinics of the attending physicians, although additional experience, including much of the surgical experience, occurs at Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Ben Taub Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital.

Admissions

At the time of appointment, the trainee should have satisfactorily completed 36 months of residency training in a United States program approved by the Residency Review Committee in Ophthalmology and accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, or in a Canadian program approved by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or in an equivalent program. Texas Medical Licensure is mandatory.
