Medical Retina Fellowship review@ Aravind Eye Hospital, Chennai

1 year fellowship

Selection- based on interview only, no exams- depends on vacancy 

40 k per month

No cataract training included

You get hands-on for FFA, ICG, OCT, OCT angio, UBM, injections including Ozurdex, methotrexate for oncology cases, vit tap

Also get lasers like PRO, focal, SMPL, TTT, barrage

You get more than 800 intravit injections & lasers more than 300-400

You're allowed almost to manage every case but you should have a good senior or consultant with whom you have a good rapport just to clear your doubts.

Chennai has good Uvea exposure too

Dept hectic but not that very toxic 

ROP exposure is not that good

No periphery postings, but have to go for camp and trial bandage and one night duty per month for sure.. enucleation calls are not there luckily.

No classes, mostly self learning.

Starts from 7.30 till work over.. mostly upto 6.30 pm.

No bond but if you discontinue fellowship in between, you have to return all your stipend.
