Education & Training

Background & Training

Originally from northern China, Dr. Ding earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Shandong First Medical University and went on to complete a Ph.D. in Ophthalmology at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China. As a medical student, he was inspired by observing the Flying Eye Hospital-Orbis International, which motivated him to pursue ophthalmology on a more global and diverse stage. This inspiration eventually led him to the United States, where he has continued to expand his training and career.

Dr. Ding completed his internship at Lincoln Medical Center, affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College, and his ophthalmology residency at BronxCare Health System, affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, both in New York City. He then pursued fellowship training in
glaucoma at the Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, and the Devers Eye Institute of Legacy Health System. Upon moving to Portland for his fellowship, Dr. Ding quickly fell in love with the city. Its natural beauty and sense of community reminded him of his hometown in China, which played a key role in his decision to remain in Portland after completing his training.
