Oculoplastics & Orbit

Oculoplastics & Orbit

Program Director: Dr. Peter Dolman

Faculty:

  • David Rossman, MD
  • Vivian T Yin, MD MPH
  • Tony Wong, MD

Overview

The Oculoplastics and Orbit fellowship at UBC is a one-year program divided into two 6-month rotations. Fellows will be exposed to a wide range of eyelid, lacrimal and orbital pathology, including but not limited to endoscopic and endonasal DCR, orbital decompression, and periocular and orbital cancer resection and reconstructions in a multidisciplinary approach. Depending upon the fellow’s interests, rotation with other subspecialty services (e.g., ocular oncology, plastic surgery, neurosurgery) can be arranged.

The fellow is expected to engage in all aspects of clinical and surgical care and engage in clinical teaching of medical students and residents. Participation in clinical research is highly encouraged and geared towards the interest area of each fellow.

License and Language Requirements

The successful candidate must be licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia prior to start of fellowship. (https://www.cpsbc.ca/for-physicians/registration-licensing/applying)

If English is not the language of instruction at medical school, native language of the country of residence or primary language of patient care, the candidate must prove language proficiency with Academic IELTS exam, OET Medicine Exam, or CELPIP general exam prior to time of application. A minimal score of 7 is required in each of the components on the academic IELTS exam, minimum grade of B in each component on the OET Medicine Exam, or a minimum score of 9 in each component of the CELPIP General Exam.

Overview

Our division’s goals include excellent clinical care, teaching and research.

Our seven active clinicians manage patients with diseases of the eyelids, lacrimal system and orbit from throughout the province and Western Canada.  Dedicated clinics and surgery are provided in lower mainland teaching hospitals including the Eye Care Centre and the Burnaby, Children’s, Lion’s Gate, Providence, Vancouver General and University Hospitals.  Drs Denton, Dhaliwal, Pollock and Wong focus on oculoplastic diseases, Dr Carruthers on cosmetic oculoplastic procedures and Drs Dolman and Rossman on both oculoplastic and orbit disease.  Our division works collaboratively with other medical departments, including dermatology, endocrinology, oncology, otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, pathology, plastic surgery and rheumatology.

Teaching plays an integral role in the division with “hands on” teaching being a major strength for both residents and fellows. More than 1000 hours per year of teaching is provided by the members of the division in both clinical and surgical settings. Oculoplastic and orbit rounds are held for the residents and Fellows every fourth week. The division offers 1-2 fellowship training positions per year lasting 12 months, with special consideration for those returning to underserviced areas or academic programmes. Over 60 fellows from every continent have been trained in our unit over the past 35 years. Our teaching extends to other medical departments, with off-service rotations by plastic surgery and endocrinology residents. Several of our faculty are involved in national and international teaching through visiting professorships and lectures, and in volunteering their time to teach and perform surgery in underserviced areas around the world.  Our members have contributed several well recognized textbooks in oculoplastics and orbital surgery and pathogenesis.

In orbital research, our division has been involved with international collaborators in classifying and managing thyroid eye disease and orbital malignancies.  In oculoplastics, our contributions have included reviews of eyelid malignancies and several prospective studies on endonasal lacrimal surgery as well as extensive work on cosmetic grading scales.  Several clinicopathologic studies have been conducted collaboratively with our Ocular Pathology colleagues.
