Case Studies in Ophthalmology
Cases for the Ophthalmology Clerkship
Note to Medical Students on the Ophthalmology Rotation at the University of Iowa:
Print the question and answer sheet (Ctrl-Print or Command-Print) and enter your answers on it. You may prefer to type your answers on this page and then print it. If you do this, be careful that your full answer shows in the printout. Experience with Internet Explorer has been less than optimal.
Return the printed copy with your answers to Michelle Snyder or Dr. Kemp via campus mail (11290 PFP) or scan as a pdf and email to Michelle at michelle-r-snyder@uiowa.edu or Dr. Kemp at pavlina-kemp@uiowa.edu.
These case studies are intended for the use of Medical Students on the Ophthalmology Rotation at the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Iowa.
The answers are not available on this site. Your your answers will not be checked unless you are currently on the rotation.
