2020 surprise: Bascom Palmer, Wilmer Eye tie for top spot
The year 2020 dished up a November surprise with a tie between Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and the Wilmer Eye Institute at the top of the rankings for Best Overall Program in the Ophthalmology Times® Best Program Survey.
This marks the first time in the history of the survey that there has been a tie.
The survey also found that the high-achieving programs from the 2019 survey maintained their levels of excellence and stayed within the ranks of the Top 12 programs in the country, although the evaluation of the Clinical Care Program segment of the survey saw 3 newcomers to the Best of the Best and 1 new addition to the list of Best Residency Programs.
The health care professionals involved in these exceptional programs are to be congratulated for their continuing successes. The results were determined based on a survey sent by Ophthalmology Times® to the chairpersons and residency directors of programs across the US.
