Residency Description:
The Optometric Residency in Primary Care Optometry is sponsored by Nova Southeastern University, College of Optometry. Clayton Eye Center was established in 1974 by Robert W. Lennon, M.D. and Kirk L. Smick, O.D. Clayton Eye Center offers an environment in which each resident will experience a wide diversity in ocular disease through direct patient care in primary, and secondary care clinics. The resident examines patients at least 3 days per week in their own primary care clinic where they will assist in the supervision of fourth year optometric externs and will make the final disposition on all their patients. The residents practice full-scope optometry and are granted full therapeutic privileges after they have passed the Georgia State board examination, and completed a credentialing process.
Each resident will see patients in the ophthalmology subspecialty clinics which may include external disease, retina/vitreous, and glaucoma. The resident will perform complete examinations on patients of all ages. In the specialty clinics this information is provided to the attending physician. The resident will maintain a patient log sheet describing the type and extent to which the resident was involved in seeing the patient.
The resident will experience further academic growth by attending lectures and utilizing library facilities, in addition to learning on-the-job from other members of the eye care team. The resident will give formal presentations to the externs in addition to writing a paper worthy of publication in an optometric journal.
