January 31-February 2, 2014, the Hamilton Eye Institute held the Annual Basic and
Clinical Science Review Course. This free program, which was offered to all residents
and fellows in training, was organized by second-year ophthalmology residents T. Amerson
Pegram, MD, Michael Hood, MD, and Patrick Risch, MD. It provided a series of didactic
lectures by subspecialty experts in the field based on the core material from the
Basic and Clinical Science Series published by the AAO.
Lecturers at the event included members of our own faculty as well as special guest
speaker Kenneth W. Wright, MD, director of the Wright Center for Pediatric Ophthalmology
and Strabismus in Costa Mesa, Calif, who delivered an exceptional lecture on the anatomy
of eye muscles. He also donated a signed copy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
(3rd ed.), a leading pediatric ophthalmology textbook co-edited by Dr. Wright, to
HEI's Haik Ophthalmology Library. We are grateful to Dr. Wright for his outstanding
contributions to the ongoing education of our residents and fellows.
