The Moran Eye Center's Residency Program is known for its hands-on approach to physician training. The residents will perform approximately 200 cataract extractions and almost 400 other major surgical operations during their time in Utah. These numbers do not include assisting during surgery or performing parts of a surgical case with a faculty member. It is important to note that all surgeries are supervised by an attending faculty member.

We conduct a basic and clinical science lecture series covering all the subspecialties in ophthalmology. In addition to this didactic work, regular teaching conferences are held in the following: Fluorescein Angiography, Regina, Cornea, Glaucoma, Oculoplastics, Refraction, Ultrasound, Strabismus, Contact Lens Clinic, Microsurgery Workshop, Ocular Pathology, Neuro-Ophthalmology, Uveitis, Journal Club, Medical Ethics, Management and Grand Rounds.

Although this residency has as its primary orientation the development of clinical skills, opportunity exists for resident research. Several residents have undertaken supervised clinical and bench research projects that are encouraged by the faculty. Opportunity also exists for collaborative research projects with other clinical or basic science departments.
