however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and others perform research.

Only physicians may study to become ophthalmologist. After
completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete
a three to five year residency in an approved ophthalmology program. After completing
their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.
Reflection:
Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I would like
to be a ophthalmologist, because I would want to know what it’s like inside the
human eye and how it works.
