Graduates of the residency and fellowship programs we offer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences are in academic medical centers and private practice throughout the world. The impact that our graduates have is inspiring and our mission is shared globally through their work.
We aim to provide relevant news and content for our esteemed alumni, as well as a place for them to connect, share ideas and give back to their alma mater.
The Alumni Association hosts a fall reunion at the American Academy of Ophthalmology each year and has a Facebook group. Ask to join that group as an easy way to stay in touch with your alumni colleagues. If you have news to share, we would love to hear from you!
Josh Vrabec, MD, who completed his residency in 2009, is the current Alumni Association president and practices at the University of Michigan.
