Dr. Yasser Khan, medical director of Carrot Eye Surgery, expressed pride in the partnership.

"Carrot Health, specializes in medical/surgical conditions related to the eye and we are proud to provide Canadian medical students from Medical University of the Americas with firsthand exposure to clinical settings in primary Eye Disease and Management," said Dr. Yasser Khan.
