Residency Description:

The mission of this training program is to give qualified postdoctoral optometry practitioners an educational experience that will nurture their development into skilled, caring clinicians with broadened general skills and additional specialized skills.

The residency program seeks to create an atmosphere that fosters a compassionate appreciation for the needs of patients from all backgrounds and a sense of duty to the Native American population the resident serves.
