 The road to becoming an
oculoplastic surgeon is long and
requires many years of training and personal dedication. Upon
completing college and four years of medical school, the
physician must then be accepted into a residency in
ophthalmology,
one of the most competitive specialties in medicine. Because
only a few hundred positions exist for twenty thousand medical
students, only the top applicants are accepted. After a one-year
internship and three years residency in
ophthalmology, an additional fellowship in oculoplastic surgery
completes the experience. There are only about twenty such
oculoplastic fellowship positions available in the United States
to the hundreds of ophthalmologists who apply. In fact only a
few hundred oculoplastic surgeons exist in the entire country
today.
 Dr. Norman Shorr is currently Director of the
Fellowship in
Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Reconstructive and Cosmetic
Surgery at Jules Stein Eye Institute, UCLA School of Medicine.
His distinguished fellowship program continues to be the top oculoplastics teaching program in the country, as it has been
for over 20 years. He and his associates form a specialized
group of highly trained experts in
eyelid,
eyebrow, forehead,
and midface surgery. To learn more about what we can do to
