In this episode, I chat with Dr. Peter MacIntosh, M.D. from the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine (UIC).

Dr. MacIntosh and I discuss his journey into ophthalmology and his origin story. As the current ophthalmology residency program director, he shares exciting updates going on at UIC and the focus of global health partnerships available throughout each year of training. Dr. MacIntosh touches on the family atmosphere at UIC and what he is looking for in applicants who would make a great fit.
