We are delighted that you have visited our neuro-ophthalmology fellowship website.
We offer a one year fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology at the Moran Eye Center. We have outstanding opportunities for both ophthalmology and neurology trained residents in neuro-ophthalmology. Our goal is for a fellow to be able to practice Neuro-Ophthalmology ethically, thoughtfully, comprehensively, independently, and confidently through clinical work, research, and teaching.
Our fellows have outstanding opportunities to see a wide variety of clinical neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities because we are the only tertiary care center in the intermountain west and the only neuro-ophthalmology academic group between Denver and San Francisco. Our patients come from the entire region and that means we see everything. This broad clinical experience will equip our fellow to practice in a variety of settings including academic and private practice.
Our fellows also have an opportunity to do research and present at the national North American Neuro-ophthalmology Society. In addition, ample teaching opportunities exist within the departments of ophthalmology and neurology.
Our faculty are excellent teachers and guides; each one gives personal attention to each fellow. Dr. Judith E. A. Warner, MD, specializes in the clinical care of difficult neuro-ophthalmic cases. Dr. Bradley J. Katz MD, PhD, has research interests in the genetics of neuro-ophthalmic conditions, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, giant cell arteritis, and blepharospasm. Dr. Kathleen B. Digre, MD, specializes in idiopathic intracranial hypertension, eye pain, migrainous visual phenomenon, photophobia,.
We hope you will inquire further about our fellowship.
Feel free to contact anyone of us.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Digre, Bradley Katz, and Judith Warner
