In this episode, I chat with Alice C. Lorch, MD, MPH. Dr. Lorch is the Program Director for the Ophthalmology Residency Training Program and an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School (HMS). She is also the Associate Chief of Quality for the Department of Ophthalmology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEEI).

Dr. Lorch shares her journey in ophthalmology as a Harvard Medical School alum and former Chief Resident of the HMS/MEEI residency program. Now, as Program Director, Dr. Lorch has lead the program in new and exciting directions with the virtual surgical training curriculum and initiatives focused on resident wellness. Finally, she discusses the culture of HMS/ MEEI and what kind of future leader she is looking for in applicants.
