Residency Description:

The primary eye care residency program provides a qualified post-doctoral practitioner with an advanced educational experience designed to enhance his/her clinical skills. Under the supervision of attending staff, the resident participates in patient care activities directly or by supervising fourth-year optometry externs from the Michigan College of Optometry. The resident's responsibilities span the primary eye care spectrum to include well eye care to providing acute eye care and performing specialty diagnostic testing (photographs, OCTs, Visual Fields, etc.). The primary goal of this program is to improve the resident's proficiency and clinical competency in the assessment and management of patients. The Henry Ford Medical Center OptimEyes location in West Bloomfield serves a diverse patient population. This unique environment exposes the resident to a variety of ocular pathologies and specialty contact lens fittings. Upon completion of this program, the resident will be prepared to pursue professional opportunities in academia, or primary eye care in any environment. The residency encourages scholarly activities. Clinical instruction of externs and oral presentations to peer audiences is expected. The resident is also expected to complete a manuscript of publishable quality or present a scientific poster (or equivalent) at the American Academy of Optometry (or other approved venue) prior to the end of the residency year.
