Society Recognizes Dohlman for Excellence in Teaching and Education

Dohlman Award(Las Vegas, NV) The Cornea Society recognized Claes H. Dohlman, MD for his excellence in teaching and education during the Federated Societies Scientific Session in Las Vegas on November 9th. The Society recently created the Claes H. Dohlman Award for Excellence in Teaching and Education and awarded Dr. Dohlman with the first award for his years of teaching and educating young ophthalmologists in the field of cornea. Dr. Dohlman created the fellowship program at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Retina Foundation (now Schepens Eye Research Institute) which was the first formal corneal fellowship program in the United States. Dohlman has trained hundreds of fellows many of which are full professors. His commitment to teaching and education has enabled many of his students to leave their mark on the field of Ophthalmology. The Society looks forward to recognizing others with this award who has demonstrated the same dedication and steadfastness to the field of cornea.
