It's a purely cataract fellowship. I did it for 1 year. The op load is not busy so they take only 2-3 fellows per year.
Selection is by interview.
Stipend was 40,000.
They only take in as fellows who have done at least 750 SICS beforehand- this is minimum requirement.
They start you on SICS and then progress from there. I ended up operating 2000+ SICS and 500 phacos. It's a good place to do if you want more case numbers and you're looking only for cataract.
Also, this is a purely SICS and phaco fellowship, there is no refractive training here. You get to operate all kinds of cataract and also do topical phaco as well.
Sunday duties and night duties are on rotation. No camp duties.
