“Many ophthalmologists want to serve patients in a clinical setting, but also want a career that includes clinical research,” Dr. Folberg said in a Nov. 2 press release. “EyeCare Partners offers physicians the flexibility to do both as part of a world-class team of optometrists and ophthalmologists. With the launch of the new EyeCare Partners Innovation Center, ECP is focused on promoting an organization-wide culture of collaborative innovation. Education will play a key role in sharing the center’s findings and harnessing our collective expertise to improve patient outcomes and drive sight-saving advances in research.”
