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.

Binocular Vision and Pediatrics: The first summer quarter of the program is typically spent full-time in binocular vision/pediatrics clinic and possibly other clinical settings, providing direct patient care to sharpen clinical skills before the academic program formally begins in autumn quarter.
