The American Uveitis Fellows Forum was established to provide uveitis fellows in training with an opportunity to meet and exchange experiences with other current uveitis fellows; an opportunity to present their research projects to one another and to faculty members from other Uveitis Fellowship Programs; and to interact with experts in fields related to uveitis. It is our hope that these meetings will encourage fellows to become active participants in the uveitis community in the years to come. Such involvement is critical, as new discoveries are made, and as new therapies are tested in clinical trials by experts in the field.
