Why I chose Broward Health Ophthalmology:
I chose Broward Health Ophthalmology because of the diverse and large patient population in the South Florida area. Additionally, there are countless opportunities to network and conduct research. I appreciated what the program had to offer, and I connected very well with the residents and program director. I have a strong interest in pursuing in vitreoretinal surgery following ophthalmology residency. Ultimately, I want to provide quality eye care for my future patients, and I believe Broward Health Ophthalmology will prepare me with the best education and training.
