(November 4, 1942 – May 30, 2019)
Career
In 1993, she retired from UCLA, which subsequently elected her the first woman on its honorary staff.[4][5]
She served as a professor of ophthalmology at Howard University's School of Medicine and as a professor of telemedicine and ophthalmology at St. Georges University[18][20] ophthalmology training program.[21]
Being a strong advocate for telemedicine, Dr. Bath had supported the innovation of virtual labs, as a part of the curriculum in ophthalmology residency training programs, to provide surgeons with more realistic experience, made possible by 3D imaging.
In an article written by Dr. Bath, in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, she had proven that with better training and supervision in residency programs, students were able to achieve better results in their surgeries, leading to greater visual acuity.[22]
Dr. Bath has lectured internationally and authored over 100 papers.[21]
