About Us
The Ophthalmology Interest Group at Johns Hopkins exposes students at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to the clinical, technical, and research aspects of ophthalmology throughout their preclinical and clinical education. The organization hosts events where students can network with residents and faculty, practice various technical skills ranging from corneal suturing to slit lamp fundamentals, and learn about the residency match process from current 4th-year students. The organization also provides a variety of ophthalmology research opportunities that enable students to become competitive residency applicants. Because there is not enough time in either the preclinical or clinical years to study ophthalmology in-depth, the Ophthalmology Interest Group strives to provide this exposure through diverse event programming. We are open to all eligible students without regard to sex, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic.
We welcome participation from all interested JHSOM students, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other identity.
