"I love to read, and I aim to read at least one ophthalmology article or publication every day. I also subscribe to a blog called 'Modern Retina,' which has the latest trends in the eye care medicine industry, and 'Seminars in Ophthalmology' which is a peer-reviewed medical journal. Also, my professors have done an excellent job of notifying students of any significant changes in the industry."
