Dr Tom Oetting is a celebrated cataract surgery teacher and he has really pioneered much of the online learning in that regard. He has helped to create EyeRounds.org which is a tremendous learning resource for ophthalmologists around the globe. His phaco teaching manual, Cataract Surgery for Greenhorns, has been used by countless aspiring ophthalmologists around the world. And he is a large part of the reason why the University of Iowa is consistently ranked as one of the best ophthalmology residencies in the USA. 

We talked about so many great topics in this podcast including the best way to learn cataract surgery, how to approach patients about having a resident do their procedure (under supervision), the future of ophthalmology, and so much more. We had so much fun and it was so engaging that we lost track of time and ended up going for almost 2 hours. This is a podcast that you want to download and listen to while you're commuting to work or exercising.
