Optometrist - Pediatrics

The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at Yale School of Medicine is expanding the clinical practice and seeks an outstanding Pediatric Optometrist to practice in our Norwalk and Greenwich locations.

The Department has a long-standing tradition of excellence in clinical care and research in multiple subspecialty areas of ophthalmology. Our department provides clinical services for patients with over 75,000 visits annually at Yale Medicine Ophthalmology. The Department is located within the Yale University School of Medicine, which is one of the nation’s oldest and most competitive medical schools, consistently ranking among the top few in federal research funding. Clinical services are delivered through Yale Medicine, which is the largest multispecialty physician practice in New England.

The Department is affiliated with the Yale New Haven Health System, a growing health care system including Yale-New Haven Hospital, Bridgeport Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, Lawrence and Memorial Hospital and Westerly Hospital. We have outpatient offices in New Haven, Guilford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Madison, Waterford, and Stratford. Our department is growing, with plans to increase its clinical and academic footprint over five years, adding multiple new clinical and research members to coincide with this geographic expansion.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a candidate who is interested in building a solid career in a superb setting for clinical practice. The ideal candidate will be devoted to clinical excellence, to advancing our knowledge of understanding and treating mainly pediatric and some adult patients. Candidates should have an OD degree and be board certified or board eligible in optometry and be eligible for medical licensure in the state of Connecticut. Candidates with a Pediatric Optometry residency are preferred.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
