The Robert H. H ales Memorial Lectureship has always been an
integral part of the annual Resident Alumni Day Conference.

Resident Alumni Day is designed to promote life-long learning
for physicians through the provision of an educational
conference designed to enhance and expand medical knowledge
skills of the residents. These cases have been chosen for their
interest to ophthalmologists, relevance to current
ophthalmologic concerns, applicability to cases physicians are
likely to see, demonstration of atypical features, unusual course
or management, and/or advances in diagnoses and/or therapy.
Residents will present an overview of interesting or unusual
patient cases encountered during the year, their treatment, and
treatment results. They will also provide an update on current
research in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual
Sciences. Each presentation will be followed by a 5-minute
question and answer period.

As John A. Moran Eye Center Ophthalmology
Residents, we strive to become compassionate
physicians, skilled clinicians and elegant surgeons.
We approach every clinical and academic
experience as an opportunity to learn and improve.
As a team, we support our co-residents while
developing our skills through scholarly activity,
intercultural health experiences and diverse
surgical training. Throughout residency, we
develop the expertise to become future leaders in
Ophthalmology and the greater community of
medicine. We become standard bearers of
humanism and quality, who proudly represent the
Moran Eye Center for the world to see
In 1979 the University of Utah’s Division of
Ophthalmology was a one-person operation,
consisting of Randall J Olson, MD. In 1982, the
division was accorded departmental status, and a
year later, Dr. Olson was selected as chairman of
the department. To this day, Dr. Olson retains the
position as chairman of the Department of
Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and CEO of the
Moran Eye Center.
