Description

Dr Tabin is a distinguished ophthalmologist, humanitarian and accomplished mountaineer. As the co-founder of the Cure Blindness Project, he has dedicated his life to eradicating preventable blindness in the developing world.

Tabin's passion for mountain climbing led him to discover his professional career. He is the fourth person in the world to reach the tallest peak of each continent. After summiting Mt. Everest, Tabin spent time in Nepal and witnessed a Dutch team perform cataract surgery on a woman who had been struggling with curable blindness for years. He then understood his life calling.

Tabin is a Professor of Ophthalmology and Global Medicine at Stanford University, and has published over 45 peer-reviewed articles, two books, and a dozen book chapters. Join us for an inspirational evening discussing global health, adventure, and personal growth.

In partnership with Aspen Hospitality.
