A Chat with Kalla Gervasio, MD

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Kalla Gervasio, who resides as one of the Chief Residents at Wills Eye Hospital. Dr. Gervasio shares her journey into ophthalmology and what led her to pursue two fellowships in neuro-ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery upon completion of her residency training this year. Dr. Gervasio describes these two subspecialties and what makes them unique for any medical student interested in ophthalmology who may not have heard of them. We discuss how she is the co-founder of the Journal of Narrative Vision, her previous background studying the classical humanities, and how all this experience ties into navigating daily with her role as Chief Resident. Finally, we discuss some tennis so stick around for that if you are a fan of the game! You can follow Dr. Gervasio on Twitter @Kalla_Gervasio and Instagram @dr.kallagervasio. Be sure also to follow Wills Eye Hospital on Twitter @Wills_Eye and the residents on Instagram @willseyeresidents.
