ophthal

[lemonpeel]

Anyone has info on the compensation/salary for ophthal as well as the rank for residency programs in opthal? Also I am just curious how do the different subspecialties for ophthal compare (retina vs cornea vs etc.). How about the kind of recommendations you need to obtain a good residency? Thanks in advance.

Best letters are from faculty who know you well and can compare you to other applicants from your program. It also helps to get a well known faculty to write you a letter.
