This lectureship has been established by friends and
associates of Dr. Campo (04/52 - 09/92), to not only honor his memory,
but assist in the education of residents of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
and his fellow ophthalmologists. For those of us who were not so
fortunate as to know Dr. Campo personally, a brief biography of
this physician has been written by co-resident and friend, Vincent
deLuis, M.D., (BPEI, 81).

Dr. Campo, one of the BPEI's best
and brightest residents and an accomplished vitreoretinal
surgeon, , died in a tragic automobile accident in September
1992, near his Scottsdale, Arizona home.
Randy graduated from Pennsylvania
State University and Jefferson Medical College. He entered
the BPEI residency program in July 1978 and quickly established
his lifelong reputation of superior intellect, tireless work
ethic and true compassion for his patients. His residency
interest in retina/vitreous culminated in a one-year fellowship
in vitreoretinal disease and surgery at the University of
Wisconsin - Milwaukee under the guidance of another BPEI alumnus,
Thomas Aaberg, ,M.D.
Randy then moved to the warmer climes
of Phoenix, Arizona, joining BPEI graduate Richard Flindall
MD at Retina Consultants Southwest. Randy was activein the
teaching programs at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, where he ran
the retina service, as well as teaching at the Maricopa County
Medical Center and Veterans Hospital in Phoenix, at which
locatinos he helped train visiting residents from UCSF, Mayo
Clnic Rochester and Washington University - Barnes Hospital.
Randy's dedication to ophtahlmology
was balanced by his keen and acerbic sense of humor, and an
un canny ability to find mirth in many of life's more absurd
situations. Overarching all of this, however, was his extreme
humility. Quiet and reserved, he made waves and moved mountains
by dint of his actions, not words. His patients and we miss
him greatly, and hope that this lectureship will keep alive
the flame of his own passion for ophthalmology for a longtime
to come.
