Dr. Cherwek received his undergraduate degree in biology from the University of North Carolina (UNC)- Chapel Hill and his medical degree from Duke University. After his transitional year at Scripps Hospital, he completed his residency in ophthalmology at Emory University where he was elected chief resident.
Immediately on graduating from Emory, he joined Orbis International where he was able to lecture and work in over 25 countries aboard the Flying Eye Hospital (FEH) and help build the telemedicine/distance learning platform. After working with Orbis International, he was based in Beijing, China, for six years working with Alcon as the medical director of Strategic Markets to help improve surgical training efforts and access to quality cataract care in Asia and Russia. Most recently, Dr. Cherwek has returned to Orbis International to continue to support its clinical training efforts and patient care programs.
