Dr. Paolo Silva as featured on Joslin Diabetes Center's website

BOSTON, United States – at the world’s preeminent diabetes research and clinical care center, Dr. Silva is staff ophthalmologist and assistant chief of the Center for Ocular Telehealth at Joslin’s Beetham Eye Institute. An affiliate of Harvard Medical School, Joslin Diabetes Center is leading the battle to conquer diabetes in all of its forms through cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to clinical care and education.

In more than 100 years of Joslin history, Dr. Silva is the third Filipino ophthalmologist appointed as an active staff member. He splits his time between seeing patients, acting as assistant chief of telemedicine, and pursuing research endeavors to ultimately eliminate visual loss from diabetic eye disease.

After serving as Chief Resident of the Philippine General Hospital's Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, he joined the Beetham as a clinical retina fellow and served as chief fellow the following year. Upon completion of his fellowship, he was invited to stay as part of the staff and has remained at the Joslin ever since. Currently, he is focusing on his researches on wide-field retinal imaging, clinical outcomes and clinical trials for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and pushing developments in the field of telemedicine.

Congratulations from the Fraternity and good luck to all your endeavors, brod!
