About Us
About Us
The Thomas Duane Ophthalmology Society (TDOS) at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC) at Thomas Jefferson University is dedicated to promoting interest in the medical specialty of ophthalmology through lectures and interactive programming for the Jefferson Community. We are also committed to volunteerism and connect SKMC students with our community partners through ophthalmology-related volunteer opportunities, including working with patients at the Wills Access Clinic and vision screening at JeffHOPE clinics.
A central goal of TDOS is to support student engagement with educational opportunities in ophthalmology. Our annual introductory talk, hosted by Dr. Bruce Markovitz, aims to raise awareness and promote interest in the field and its subspecialties. With the support of Wills Eye Hospital, we also host an annual resident-run slit lamp workshop, bi-monthly wet lab sessions, and organize journal clubs with physicians.
