PGY4 Residents

Fourth-year residents (PGY4) routinely assume the role of primary surgeon during their clinical rotations. They serve as mentors for their junior residents and take back up call for PGY2 residents.

Their on-call schedule is every sixth weeknight and every sixth weekend. They are given dedicated time to conduct ophthalmic research that is presented before their peers at an Emory Eye Center lecture or at a professional conference. All fourth-years attend the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting and receive time off to attend job or fellowship interviews.
