In this session of the Hopkins Ophthalmology Virtual Curriculum, Dr. Geoff Tabin, professor of ophthalmology and global medicine at Stanford University, recounts his remarkable journey of how a passion for mountaineering led him to ophthalmology. After becoming the fourth person in the world to climb the highest peak on each continent, Dr. Tabin turned his focus to global health. Here, he discusses co-founding the Himalayan Cataract Project to increase access to safe, efficient cataract surgery across the globe. He describes the community partnerships and local expertise that has made such work possible. #hopkinsvirtualophthalmologycurriculum #johnshopkins #hvoc #globalophthalmology #cornea
