The Optometric Residency Program at Berkeley Optometry and its affiliate programs seek
to recruit and admit the best-qualified postgraduate optometrists. Our aim is to provide advanced clinical
education and concentrated clinical experience in specialty areas of optometry in an institutional or hospital-based
setting.
 This mentored educational and clinical experience will prepare optometrists for lifelong scholarship in
patient care, education, and optometric
leadership.
The Residency Program will:
-
Enhance the resident's didactic knowledge of clinical eye care.
-
Develop the resident's ability to critically and comprehensively review the literature, and to present that knowledge in both oral and written form
|
Our Residency Program offers both on-campus and affiliate programs.
