My clinical interests are in the medical and surgical management of the subspecialties of corneal & external disease, lens & cataract, anterior segment surgery, and general & comprehensive ophthalmology. My research interests expand on my role as clinician (my clinical interests), as educator (medical students, ophthalmology and non-ophthalmology residents, and physicians), and as clinic director (quality improvement and patient safety). |

Cataract and Refractive Surgery- A relatively new subspecialty within ophthalmology which involves the surgical management of refractive errors in the human eye. Training is included in corneal and external disease fellowships and uses some of the most recent technological advances within the field. |
Cornea and External Disease- This subspecialty involves the diagnosis and management of diseases of the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva and eyelids, including dystrophies, infections, tumors, and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. Training includes corneal transplant and refractive surgery. |
General and Comprehensive Ophthalmology- An ophthalmologist (Eye MD) specially trained to provide the full spectrum of eye care (medical and surgical management), from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate eye surgery. |
Graduate Medical Education- Medical education after graduating from a medical school in the specialty of ophthalmology for ophthalmology residents and for non-ophthalmology residents interested in ophthalmic training as it applies to their chosen specialty. |
Medical Education- Allopathic medical education is education related to the practice of being a medical practitioner; i.e., the initial training to become a doctor at medical school. Allopathic refers to the practice of traditional or conventional Western medicine. |
Molecular and Human Genetics- The science concerned with the chemical and physical nature of genes and the mechanism by which they control the development and maintenance of the organism. Clinical genetics is the study of genetic factors influencing the occurrence of a pathologic condition. |
Patient Safety and Continuous Quality Improvement- Patient Safety is the prevention of errors and adverse effects associated with health care. CQI is a comprehensive management philosophy that applies scientific methods to gain knowledge and control over variation in work processes. |

| 3/2009 - 4/2014 | UTHSCSA Alamo City Annual Ophthalmology Clinical Conference | The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio | 100 students |
| I participated as clinical faculty for the 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 sessions. The conference focuses on one to two subspecialties in ophthalmology and consists of featured keynote lectures and a series of oral abstract presentations based on original resident research- including clinical and basic science projects. After each abstract presentation, expert panelists discuss salient points. Conference is held over two days, a Friday and a Saturday in March, each academic year at the Oak Hills Country Club, San Antonio, Texas. I served as a moderator on the expert panel for sessions applicable to my subspecialty; i.e., cornea/external disease, and refractive surgery. I also served as one of the judges to decide which presentations were to receive awards. | |||
