Residency Program

The Department of Ophthalmology at UNC offers a 3-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited residency training program. Through a joint UNC Ophthalmology-UNC Internal Medicine internship program, in their first 12 months of residency, our first-year residents (PGY1) learn through a combined internal medicine and ophthalmology curriculum. Four residents match to the program each year, for a total of 12 residents in training each academic year.
