Popis: Diplomates from the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (DACVOs) who do not select residents concur with DACVOs involved in the selection of residents that it is a subjective process. Both groups believe that residents are selected on the basis of their perceived intelligence, hardworking attitude, and effective communication skills, along with the impression that the resident will fit well into a particular work environment. Survey data from successful veterinary ophthalmology resident applicants identify several helpful criteria. Applicants should have demonstrated academic achievement, including publication or presentation of information. Achievement of an advanced degree was helpful in obtaining a program. Although interviews may not be required for application to a program, they are extremely helpful in obtaining a position. Excellent communication skills are an asset.
