Welcome to OIG!

Mission:

The Ophthalmology Interest Group (OIG) is a medical student organization founded in 2002 for the purpose of educating students about the field of ophthalmology. The organization provides information about ophthalmology as a career, can facilitate research opportunities, and promotes student interactions with ophthalmology faculty and residents.

Meetings:

The OIG holds lunchtime and evening meetings. Topics include ophthalmology as a career, applying to residency, information about subspecialties, as well as other topics of interest. In 2008, OIG began ophthalmology clinic training sessions and coordinated shadowing opportunities in the UNC Eye Clinic for medical students. Specific meeting dates will be announced as the year progresses.
