Alumni & Friends

Welcome OVS Alumni!

As part of a leading academic medical center, our mission is centered around teamwork and the education of young eye doctors and surgeons. Each year, our family grows larger as more ophthalmologists graduate our residency program and move across the world to pursue their passions. One of the most rewarding aspects of our profession is the camaraderie and meaningful relationships that we build together as we dedicate our lives to serving our communities and advancing scientific knowledge. We are always delighted to hear from our alumni and love bringing people together to learn and grow. 

For Alumni who are interested in giving back to our department, please contact us to learn more about how you can get involved. There are many ways to contribute, from presenting as a guest lecturer, to collaborating with our faculty members to start clinical or research projects.  

Alumni Resources

We are a proud member of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society (COS), which was founded in 1893 and is one of the oldest and most successful local eye societies in the world.

The mission of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society is to enhance the vision and health of the greater Chicago community by providing education, advocacy and a forum for discussion of clinical care and eye research among ophthalmologists in practice or training. We have programs throughout the year to support education and collaboration between the major academic and medical institutions of the Chicagoland area. 

Check out the calendar of events and register at the COS website.
