Advice from pioneers in the field of ophthalmology

  • Hard work, determination, good education avails many opportunities for the student, in any career path
  • You are your best advocate – show the world that you are a quality candidate for medicine by your positive attitude, strong work ethic, and passion to excel
  • No one can argue against a solid application
  • Don't be discouraged – keep pressing on toward your dream
  • Don't yield to the temptation to do things that are easy; it's hard work that makes you better
  • Seek the advice of a mentor – they have lived exactly where you are now and can provide invaluable advice and assistance as you embark on this journey
  • Medicine provides opportunity to explore new and exciting territories, with numerous options (either patient care, clinical or basic research, development of new techniques/equipment/medications/technologies). The possibilities are endless.
