Overview
Pediatric ophthalmology, while largely located in the lower mainland, has faculty on Vancouver Island (affiliated with the Island Medical Program) and the Okanagan (affiliated with the Southern Medical Program). Our faculty are active clinically, involved in research and regularly teach at all levels from medical students to fellows and graduate students. We have 2 funded fellowship positions annually. We host a successful biennial international pediatric ophthalmology meeting, a fixture on the conference calendar, with the next on in September 2025. Our faculty speak locally, nationally, and internationally. We are also active in providing outreach services from the downtown eastside to areas across the province and in the Yukon. We are working with government and various organizations to develop policies and programs which improve pediatric eyecare for the children of British Columbia.
