\nAt the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we have a strong tradition of excellence in education. UNC was the first public university in the nation. Today, medical students and UNC Ophthalmology residents and fellows learn via didactics and hands-on teaching at the UNC Kittner Eye Center and UNC Hospitals campuses in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough.\u00a0 We take pride in training future comprehensive and subspecialized ophthalmologists to be strong clinicians and surgeons.
