Dr. Tijerina will begin the position in June following his third year of residency. Traditionally, the institute has always had two chief residents, both specializing in retina care. 

“It’s a long time coming because there’s a lot of trauma to the eye that doesn’t need retina surgery. 2023 was the first year they started entertaining that idea,” Dr. Tijerina told the Messenger. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
