A Chat with Nicolas Yannuzzi, MD

In this episode, I am joined by Nicolas Yannuzzi, MD. Dr. Yannuzzi is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology and a vitreoretinal surgeon at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, FL. We discuss Dr. Yannuzzi's early background and non traditional path in oncology, finance, and ultimately how he came to ophthalmology with an interest in retina. Dr. Yannuzzi details his experience training at Bascom Palmer as one of the Chief Residents and how this experience shaped him for his fellowship there as well. We discuss his approach to staffing fellows, the differences in learning styles applicants to residency in ophthalmology should consider, what he looks for in residency applicants, and what he has learned in his recent experience in the job hunt.
