Or maybe you want to explore fellowships in just one speciality?
Or perhaps you've already finalised a fellowship but you want to confirm your choice is the best compared to other hospitals offering the same fellowship?
Whatever your case, IOFAR's browsing features make it easier. Browse helps you separate the 190+ reviews so you can navigate them by location and speciality.

The Fellowship Insights Blog
What becomes obvious when you look at hundreds of fellowship experiences together.
An individual review tells you about one program.
But when you collect reviews from many programs and speak to many fellows over time, patterns begin to emerge.
Fellowship Insights looks at those patterns- training exposure, duration, stipends, specialities, short term programs and other aspects of Ophthalmology training that are easier to understand when you look beyond a single fellowship. Check out the articles below.

About IOFAR
IOFAR is a growing database of reviews of Ophthalmology fellowships and training programs in India.
IOFAR was created to make information about Ophthalmology fellowships easier to find and easier to evaluate.
We aren't trying to be the biggest fellowship directory in India. Our aim is to help ophthalmologists understand popular fellowships in India, explore options and use that knowledge to make informed career moves.
The reviews on IOFAR are based on direct conversations with fellows and residents and reflect their individual experiences and opinions.
IOFAR does not suggest that doing a fellowship is necessary. Its purpose is simply to provide information, so that if you are considering a program, you can make your own decision with better information.
If you want to submit a fellowship review, or if you find outdated info in any of the reviews, feel free to email us at ophthalfellowship@outlook.com
This website is not related or affiliated in any way to any hospital or national or state level Ophthalmological associations. We also do not have any other websites.
The site admin (IOFAR Admin) has collated reviews with personal effort and has received no assistance of any kind from any organization.
