Residency Description:
The program consists of course work in Vision Science, statistics, and general issues related to research plus elective courses specific to the student's areas of interest. A total of 45 credit hours, including independent research credits, must be completed for the Master's degree. The remaining time is devoted to clinical teaching, serving as a teaching assistant in appropriate laboratories, patient care from the routine to the most complex phases of optometric practice, and completion of a research project and Master's thesis.
Vision Rehabilitation: In addition to examining patients within the Vision Rehabilitation Service at the College of Optometry, the resident will work at a multidisciplinary blind rehabilitation center (Vision Center of Central Ohio), which provides vocational, homemaking, and mobility training. The initial quarter in the program will be spent in full-time direct patient care in a variety of clinical settings (Vision Rehabilitation, Primary Vision Care, and Disease Evaluation).
