Leonard B. Nelson, MD, MBA, received a BA in biology from Columbia University and his MD from Harvard Medical School. Following a surgical internship at Harvard, he completed his ophthalmology residency at New York University Bellevue Hospital Medical Center. He went on to complete a 1-year fellowship in Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Children's National Medical Center and a 1-year fellowship in ocular genetics at the Wilmer Institute. He obtained his MBA at St. Joseph's University.
