I work in the ophthalmologic clinic Eye surgery Raschescoff, Kazan. I specialize in cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery and vitreoretinal surgery. I am 46 years old. I learned about participation in educational programs ESASO through RSCRS The first module I visited in 2011. It was held in Lugano Campus.
In 2013 I went through a practical course “Surgical treatment of pathologies of the retina”, at the University Vita- Salute San Raffaele, Milan (Italy).
Education in ESASO opened for me the opportunity to gain invaluable experience in the treatment of eye diseases, in the world's best hospitals. All stages of training were organized at a very high
level

– Dr. Alexander Rascheskov, Russia

Each day, my skills improve and my experience as a surgical retina fellow, enhances my knowledge as a specialist. By having the opportunity to operate several times a week, to triage and treat emergencies, and see interesting cases in the clinic is contributing to my confidence to make treatment decisions and to approach different pathologies and cases with more discrimination and expertise.
In addition, my tutors and the entire hospital staff, are very friendly and willing to offer their guidance, advice and help in every way they can. I already feel part of the department, attending to each one of the sessions, and taking part in every procedure that I can. My recommendation to anyone considering participating with ESASO is not to hesitate to be part of the courses, or to apply for a Fellowship. ESASO provides the greatest opportunity to learn with the best educators in the field.

– Dr. Michael R. Martinez, Mexico
