Bio

Blake Snyder, MD grew up in Colorado and brings his love of skiing, biking, hiking, and live music to a life and career focused on global ophthalmology. He studied biochemistry and chemistry at the University of Colorado, graduating summa cum laude as the only student in his department to do so, with distinction and Phi Beta Kappa honors. He then spent a year as an Intramural Research Training Award Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where he was first introduced to ophthalmology. During medical school, he was one of six students selected as an AOA Honor Society leader and received both the departmental award in ophthalmology at graduation and a full presidential scholarship. He spent two years completing international ophthalmology research as a Doris Duke/Fogarty Fellow with the Francis I. Proctor Foundation at UCSF, contributing to a project later supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He completed residency at UC Davis, where he served as Chief Resident and co-authored a policy paper that helped advance Congressional legislation on corneal donation access for minority populations. He returned to UCSF and the Proctor Foundation for fellowship training in uveitis and medical cornea and is now a Global Ophthalmology Fellow at Stanford.
