Ophthalmology Residency Program
Welcome to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
At Bascom Palmer, we regard the education of our ophthalmology residents and fellows as one of our highest priorities. This tradition of excellence has been instrumental in earning the Institute world recognition as a premier teaching, research, and patient care facility. The Institute serves as the Department of Ophthalmology for Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The Institute is ranked the #1 eye hospital in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and the residency program has been ranked best in the nation by Ophthalmology Times and by Doximity.com, the largest online physician network. In addition to offering residency and fellowship training, our Global Center for Ophthalmic Education offers a robust calendar of educational programs for physicians.
