This service as also become an integral part in the training of fellows in the joint Partners Immunology and Allergy program.

1997-1998 American Academy of Ophthalmology
Instructor and course co-organizer: “Emerging concepts in the pathogenesis and treatment of corneal and ocular surface diseases”. Course provided overview of the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms of corneal and ocular surface diseases
1998- Harvard Intensive Review of Ophthalmology Course
Principal Instructor for Cornea and External Disease section of course.

2001- Conference Co-Chair, Harvard Biennial Cornea Research Conference.Report of Clinical Activities:
1. Clinical Practice: Cornea/External Disease, and Ocular Immunology.
Full-time hospital-based academic faculty at Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary. In addition, I am involved in clinical research in the areas of ocular surface and inflammatory diseases.
2. Patient load: I devote 20-25% of my time to clinical activities comprised of medical and surgical subspecialty care of patients with corneal and inflammatory ocular diseases. All patients are evaluated and managed with trainees.
3. Contributions: Development of a new multidisciplinary Ocular Immunology service at BWH (1995-2002) focusing on management of patients with ocular immunoinflammatory conditions. This streamlined the care of these patients, and provided new educational opportunities for ophthalmology and immunology trainees at the Longwood Medical Area. Upon termination of BWH Ophthalmology service in 2002, my related clinical and academic activities were transferred entirely to the Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary.
