Tell us about your training that qualifies you to enter our residency program.
To be considered for an ophthalmology residency, you need a bachelor's degree, a competitive score on the MCAT, approximately four years of medical school, a passing score on two medical licensing exams, and the completion of a one-year internship. If you have made it to the interview, you must have met the requirements to apply to the ophthalmology residency program. The interviewers would like you to describe the steps you have taken to meet their requirements. Be sure to mention where you received your education and how it has prepared you for their residency program.
"I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Florida State University and then attended medical school at Florida State University College of Medicine after sitting for the Medical College Admissions Test. I obtained my Doctor of Medicine degree, passed both medical licensing exams, and completed my rotations, which is where I gravitated toward ophthalmology. I recently completed my one-year internship and am prepared and qualified to advance in the ophthalmology residency program."
