Residency Description:

The Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) of Walla Walla, Washington, in partnership with Pacific University College of Optometry (PUCO) of Forest Grove, Oregon, and Pacific Cataract & Laser Institute (PCLI) of Kennewick, Washington, have jointly developed a one-year residency program in optometry. The fundamental mission of this training program is to provide qualified post-doctoral practitioners with a structured educational experience which will deepen their development into exceptional optometric clinicians in the areas of primary care, ocular disease, geriatrics and surgical comanagement. Upon completion of the residency, the doctor will emerge with enhanced clinical skills, knowledge and experience which elevate him/her beyond entry-level practice, thus making residents suitable candidates for optometry positions in VHA optometry, co-management and/ or multidisciplinary settings.
