Ophthalmologist - Greenville, North Carolina

Cornea / External Disease Ophthalmologist

A growing ophthalmology program is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible, fellowship-trained Cornea/External Disease specialist to join an expanding multi-specialty ophthalmology practice. Candidates with an interest in resident education and residency program development are encouraged to apply.

The program has received ACGME approval to launch a new Ophthalmology residency, with the inaugural class scheduled to begin in summer 2026, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to program development from the ground up.
