Take Detours

Mark Kontos, MD

ME Asks: What advice would you give yourself about establishing a career in ophthalmology?

“Take detours early, lots of them. Go on the mission trip, say yes to the chance to work on a research project in Africa or whatever the opportunity might be. Looking back, these will be the gold threads in the fabric that is your ophthalmic career.”
