Catalog description

The fourth professional year is designed to promote continued development of the student’s emerging clinical problem-solving abilities. This is a series of full-time clinical rotations or externships comprised of patient care experiences. Students will rotate at the Midwestern University Eye Institute and at approved external rotation sites with an emphasis on direct patient care in individualized supervised clinical experiences focusing on primary care, ocular disease and optometric specialties. Clinical decision making will be enhanced through challenging patient care problems that highlight or emphasize differential diagnosis, management decisions, referral decisions and follow-up, as well as address newer techniques and procedures for diagnosis and management.
