Dr. Dardzhikova obtained her medical degree from the Medical Academy of Sofia, Bulgaria in 1989 and completed her Ophthalmology training at the same institution in 1996.
Following her training, she worked for seven years at a Military Hospital in Kuwait before moving to Canada, where she undertook a four-year Advanced Refractive Surgery and Research Fellowship at the Gimbel Eye Centre in Calgary under Professor Howard Gimbel.
