Residency Description:

The mission of our optometric residency program is to provide residents with extensive clinical experience within a patient population of veterans with multiple complex medical conditions. Care of these patients will require extensive utilization of specialty services as well as continuous consultation with other members of the medical team. This program will require participation in didactic and clinical care in both eyecare and internal medicine with emphasis as it applies to the practice of optometry and to the benefit of patient care. This program will foster and promote critical thinking through requirements to participate in the study of clinical research methods, case reports, formal lectures, posters or other publications at regional or national meetings. Ultimately this program will provide the resident with the skills necessary to pursue lifelong learning by ensuring competency in program objectives.
