Vanderbilt made its season debut in the Power Rankings after the Commodores' first win over a ranked nonconference opponent (Kansas State) since 1946. A crusty 67-year-old coach (Rocky Long) has led one of the most anonymous programs in the country to the brink of greatness.

Schedule The fellowship is for two years. Approximately equal time will be spent in the clinic and in the operating room during each year. Dedicated time is available for research. Affiliated Hospitals The majority of the fellowship experience is provided at the Vanderbilt Eye Institute. Time is also spent at the neighboring Vanderbilt University Medical Center main hospital, Tennessee Valley Nashville Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, and Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, all within a five-minute walk of the Eye Institute.

Clinical Activities The fellowship offers comprehensive training in the medical and surgical management of a wide variety of vitreoretinal diseases, including retinal detachment, retinal vascular disease, macular disease, intraocular tumors, uveitis, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, trauma, and pediatric retinal disorders. Through progressively increasing participation over two years, the fellow will gain autonomy in clinical decision-making and treatment. At Vanderbilt, the fellow works with retina faculty in the evaluation and treatment of adult and pediatric patients in the private referral clinics. He/she will participate in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, office procedures and will assist faculty in the teaching of residents and medical students. The fellow will also receive a broad and rigorous surgical training experience where he/she can expect to participate in 800-1000 cases with the goal of 500 cases as primary surgeon. At the Nashville VA Hospital, the fellow, along with a faculty member, will direct the retina service, where he/she will supervise residents in clinic, oversee and perform injections and laser photocoagulation procedures, and assist and perform surgery. Ancillary Services State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, including digital fundus and anterior segment photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, B-scan ultrasonography and UBM, and electroretinography is used at Vanderbilt.
