The Craig Hisaka Memorial Scholarship is an award given to a student who participated in the Business Management Immersion Program (BMIP) and has demonstrated exemplary leadership, vision, and passion in pursuing private business/practice ownership. This year’s recipient is second-year Doctor of Optometry (OD) student Monica Thu Do. Congratulations Monica!
“The BMIP program gave me a deeper sense of connection to the optometry community and opened my eyes to the realities and rewards of private practice – from handling business operations to building strong relationships with patients and staff. I was especially inspired by how involved Dr. Mantua, Dr. Siu, and Dr. Lin are in both their practices and the larger optometric field. Their mentorship highlighted the importance of staying active in professional associations and contributing to the future of the profession. This experience has not only expanded my understanding of private practice but also motivated me to stay engaged and involved throughout my career.”– Monica Thu Do
