In the last episode series, we heard from the directors of two pathway programs that are recruiting, supporting, and promoting young minority students in their efforts to pursue careers in the field of ophthalmology; the NMA Ophthalmology Section's Rabb Venable Excellence In Research Pathways to Success Program, and the AAO/AUPO's Minority Ophthalmology Mentoring Program.
In this episode, we’ll hear from the proverbial fruits of their labor; three, newly minted physicians who participated in these programs, Drs. Tiffani Spaulding, Diego Dominguez, and Alissa Belzie. We’ll hear about the impact these programs have have had on them, and how their experiences have shaped the trajectory of their careers and influenced their plans for the future.
These three young physicians embody the goals of each pathway program and why the need to increase diversity in ophthalmology is so important.
