Travel to Teach
Travel to Teach offers board-certified ophthalmologists the opportunity to engage in meaningful, hands-on mentorship in humanitarian settings. Participants will work closely with ophthalmic residents who are learning cataract surgery, sharing their expertise and guiding the next generation of eyecare professionals.

- Offering hands-on OR training, working with residents, and focusing on subspecialty training
