Residency in Comparative Ophthalmology---Colorado State University
The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, announces a 3-year residency in Comparative Ophthalmology to begin July 13, 2026. The residency is a three-year program and is combined with a concurrent graduate program (Masters).
The program is designed to prepare residents for successful completion of the ABVO credentialing and board certification process leading to Diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists. Residents are trained in the surgical and medical management of ophthalmic diseases in small and large domestic animals as well as exotics, avian, and zoo animals throughout the course of the residency. The resident will be responsible for outstanding patient care, and will assist in instruction of veterinary medical students, interns, and other residents.
Residents will also be trained in ophthalmic research and manuscript preparation. Secondary goals of the combined master’s program include introduction to ophthalmic research and development of effective clinical and didactic teaching skills. Residents will be expected to present results of a research project at the annual ACVO Conference or IEOC and have 2 manuscripts submitted/accepted to a refereed journal by the completion of the residency program.
