In this episode of What's Up, Doc? on the Eye Believe Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Carol L. Shields, Chief of the Ocular Oncology Service at Wills Eye Hospital and one of the world's most recognized leaders in ocular oncology.

From her days as a student-athlete to becoming a trailblazer in ophthalmology, we get a more personal look at the experiences and values that have influenced the physician—and person—she is today. Join us for a conversation that blends ocular oncology, patient care, life lessons, and personal stories as we get to know Dr. Carol Shields beyond the exam room. 🎧 Listen, learn, and get to know the people behind the white coats.
