    Extremely well researched topics with a great balance of journal clubs, surgical pearls, interviews with Stalwarts and tips on tricks on all aspects of Retina.

  • A podcast that has changed the game

    As an amateur podcaster and medical student myself, Dr. Sridhar makes what is difficult look easy with poise and talent. He is not only a host who makes his guests feel at ease, but he appropriately shares his insight within the realm of all things related to retina and medical education. What makes these episodes gel is without a doubt tons of effort built on the foundation of even greater passion. We are all looking forward to learning from each new episode.
