John A. Moran Eye Center
ARCS Foundation Utah has joined with the John A. Moran Eye Center to make awards to first year residents in their highly selective residency program. Residents in this program are exceptionally prepared, completing their internship in a combined ophthalmology and internal medicine program. Residents spend four months in ophthalmology, including one half-day a week at Moran’s Continuity Clinic, where they follow a patient’s care throughout their ophthalmology rotation, and four and a half days at the VA Salt Lake City hospital. Moran goes beyond traditional curriculum to teach residents and fellows how to provide patients with the best outcomes at the lowest cost.
