Residency Description:

This Residency provides advanced clinical training in primary care optometry with an emphasis on geriatric patients and diseases of the elderly. Extensive clinical experience is gained by providing care to the St. Louis VA Medical Center's patient population of adult and elderly patients.

The Residency is associated with the medical center's Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC). The St. Louis GRECC and the twenty-four other GRECCs across the nation are recognized as leaders in advancing geriatric care. The program has areas of flexibility that can be adapted to meet the particular interests of the resident.
