SOAR Fellows are instructed in the principles of research and manuscript writing by working closely with the physicians of The Balkan Center and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s career researchers. Our established national and international programs and initiatives (blindness prevention, pediatric eye diseases and ocular genetics) provide a structure from which Fellows can choose an area of focused study. SOAR Fellow research opportunities include telehealth in ophthalmology, developmental and quality of life issues in children with vision loss and their families, and genetic and environmental factors affecting eye disease.
This is only used for those students completing Research on an official Leave of Absence capacity. There is no longer an option to receive elective credits for research projects. For additional questions, please contact the Registrar at JHB195@miami.edu.
