Description
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Provide a respectful and compassionate patient experience through professional and efficient eye and vision care in a private practice setting.
Develop efficiencies in practicing in a dynamic, full scope private practice with exposure to diverse clinical experiences including comprehensive exams, specialty contact lens fits and evaluations, pediatrics and ocular disease management.
Provide the student doctor the readiness to enter the practice of optometry through exposure to multiple facets of private practice: time management, billing/coding, correspondence and referrals to health care providers ( ER/endocrinology/internal medicine/pediatrics/etc), team building, HIPAA compliance, meaningful use and practice management.

Student Review
"This rotation was a great learning experience! I saw a wide variety of ocular disease, specialty contact lens, pediatric, and binocular vision cases. The doctors are eager to teach and are willing to discuss more in-depth on any topics you may be curious about. They made an effort to include me on any interesting cases and encouraged me to perform procedures myself whenever possible. I definitely built my confidence and independence as a well-rounded clinician at this site. ICO should absolutely strive to maintain more externship sites like this one."
