Our first guest speaker to start off the conversation on Global Ophthalmology is Dr. Zubair Ansari. He is the Assistant Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and currently practices comprehensive Ophthalmology where he specializes in cataracts and refractive disease. He has a wealth of information regarding Academic Global Ophthalmology, which he conducted fellowship training in at the Wills Eye Hospital. This session is nothing short of gold for listeners as he explains what the field is about, unique lessons learned abroad, and what it means to harness the lessons abroad to use them in our own country to create equity.
