In this episode we have the distinct pleasure of  welcoming to the Retina Rounds podcast Dr. Thomas Albini.  Dr. Albini is Professor of Ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute where he practices as a surgical retina and uveitis specialist and serves as the co-director of the Bascom Palmer Surgical Vitreoretinal Fellowship.  Dr. Albini is also one of the founders of the Vit-Buckle Society, which serves as an outstanding resource for surgical and medical education for early career retina specialists.  Dr. Albini talks about his path to retina, the selection process for vitreoretinal fellows and the joys of elevating the next generation of leaders in retina.
