Ophthalmology Elective in Tanzania

Take an ophthalmology elective that introduces medical students to the techniques of examination of the eye, cataracts, common external problems, glaucoma, common funds pathology, and ophthalmic emergencies. Students interested in pursuing a career in ophthalmology can spend a greater part of their time in activities like following patients in the clinic to the operating room and following their postoperative course. Those more interested in seeing subspecialty ocular conditions will get the opportunity to spend time with specifics, as they attend in the operating room and in the clinical practice.

Students who are interested in non-ophthalmic fields of medicine may undertake the program that involves seeing acute eye problems in the Eye Clinic with the ophthalmologist and spending less time in the operating room setting.
