Residency Description:

The mission of the Chinle Service Unit Optometry Residency Program is to provide qualified post-doctoral optometry graduates with an advanced educational experience focused on ocular disease management in a hospital based setting.

The vision of the program is to foster an attitude of life long learning that will continue to guide residents beyond the completion of the program, promoting patient centered clinicians who are capable of providing high quality and safe optometric services.

Residents will be exposed to the Navajo culture in a fashion that facilitates the development of culturally sensitive, compassionate care.
