Fernanda’s Rotation Experience
My ophthalmology rotation in Chicago was an unforgettable experience that transformed both my medical training and my personal vision of the world. Every day in the clinic deepened my understanding of the human eye and the precision behind restoring sight, while inspiring me to pursue excellence with compassion.
Learning from brilliant physicians, engaging with patients from diverse backgrounds, and witnessing how science meets empathy reminded me why I chose medicine. Working so closely with patients made me realize how much trust is placed in physicians, especially in a specialty where vision and quality of life are so closely connected.
This was more than a rotation; it was a journey of growth, clarity, and purpose that I will carry with me throughout my career. I left Chicago with stronger clinical skills, a renewed passion for ophthalmology, and a deeper appreciation for the power of compassionate care.
