Continuing Medical Education

Boston Foundation for Sight is honored to educate future medical professionals. Each year Cornea Fellows and Optometry Residents come to BFS to be educated in the latest in treatment of corneal disease, and they join our medical staff in cutting-edge clinical research on the next generation of tools in the fight against these insidious diseases of the ocular surface system. Additionally, we offer a two-year research assistant program for individuals who have not yet started their graduate education.

For residency trained cornea and contact lens optometrists, we offer the Boston Foundation for Sight Clinical Fellowship, a nine week training program at our state-of-the-art facility in Needham, MA. This program is designed to educate the Fellow in all aspects of prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem (PROSE) and the range of complex corneal diseases that it is used to treat.
