Are you a patient?

The USC Roski Eye Institute offers five accredited clinical fellowship programs and additional research opportunities. Clinical fellows train across three institutions — the USC Roski Eye Institute at Keck Medical Center of USC, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Los Angeles General Medical Center. At each location, fellows oversee direct patient responsibility, independent clinic sessions, and resident supervision.
