Residency Description:

This Primary Eye Care Optometric Residency is a one-year post-doctoral training program sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in Portland, Oregon, and is affiliated with Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon. This residency program offers qualified doctors of optometry an educational opportunity for exceptional and broad-based development as an optometric practitioner. The educational experience will concentrate on the delivery of primary eye and vision care to a predominantly outpatient veteran population from Oregon and Southwest Washington, and the medically indigent population of Portland. Primary eye and vision care experiences include, but are not limited to, ocular disease management, binocular vision, contact lenses, and low vision. Compassionate and individualized patient care is expected. An interdisciplinary approach to the delivery of health care will be cultivated, and full utilization of the medical center's and university's resources will be encouraged. Residents will also develop clinical didactic teaching skills.
