Karl C. Golnik, MD, MEd Professor and Chair Hisham H. Arar, MD James J. Augsburger, MD Shana Brafman, OD Chairman’s Update Sandra Brooks, OD David Brounley, MD Greetings! I hope you found our last newsletter’s emphasis on our department’s global activities exciting. Thanks Kelsey Carriere, OD to all of you who provided positive feedback. In this issue, we highlight our Department’s educational history by Mark Cepela, MD Fred Chu, MD featuring our alumni and their current activities. In 2008 we increased the size John S. Cohen, MD of the residency from three to four residents per year. Fifteen years ago, most of Anne L. Corn, EdD Zelia M. Correa, MD, PhD our graduates went into private practice comprehensive ophthalmology, but Michael E. Daun, MD Eniolami Dosunmu, MD this has almost completely reversed with the majority now doing subspecialty William J. Faulkner, MD fellowships. In collaboration with the Cincinnati Eye Institute and Cincinnati Robert E. Foster, MD W. Michael Gaynier, DO Children’s Hospital Medical Center, we now offer fellowships in (two Gian Paolo Giuliari, MD Robert Goulet, MD per year), , and external disease, pediatric ophthalmology, Michael E. Gray, MD oculoplastic surgery, ocular oncology and neuro-ophthalmology. The growth Linda J. Greff, MD Fumika Hamada, PhD of our fellowship programs has enriched the resident experience and keeps our Daniel Hammer, MD Michael Hater, MD subspecialists at the forefront of knowledge and training. Our next newsletter Ginger Henson, MD will highlight philanthropy and how you can strengthen our department. Erich Hinel, OD Katherine Hogan, OD KARL C. GOLNIK, MD, MEd Edward J.
