Dear Alumni and Friends of the Eye Center:
Please join us at this year’s dedicated Ophthalmology Resident & Alumni Research Symposium
here at the UC Davis School of Medicine Education Building. The centerpiece of the UC Davis
Department of Ophthalmology & Vision Science has always been it’s training programs. As
such, it is with particular pride that on this day, we celebrate the accomplishments of our
residents and fellows in research—a component that is central to their training as ophthalmic
physicians.
Papers will be presented and discussed by members of our practice community. Special events
during that day include the Fifth Annual Alumnus of the Year presentation by Richard Lewis,
M.D. and the Byron Demorest Memorial Lecture by Paul Lichter, M.D.
We wish to thank our Program Director, Jeffrey Caspar, M.D., whose tireless work has
made our residency program one of the finest in the country. In addition, we express our
appreciation to John Keltner, M.D., whose dedication to research has driven the resident
projects forward and with ever increasing scientific quality. Finally, we thank our planning
committee—James Brandt, M.D., Robert Miller, M.D., John Keltner, M.D., and Kimber
Chavez—for developing the program.
We look forward to this meeting when the Eye Center, our alumni, and the regional
ophthalmic community celebrate the accomplishments of the past year.
Sincerely,
Mark Mannis, M.D., F.A.C.S.
