Miscellaneous comments:
Students will spend the majority of their time working with Dr. Young but will also have the opportunity to work with the other doctors. They will primarily be seeing patients in the clinic (with OD/MD oversight), but will also have the opportunity to learn testing (OCT/HVF, etc), OR observation, MD observation, etc all pending their overall interest level.
Students will see many patients on a daily basis; emphasizing their case history, test selection, technical skills, and management decisions. Doctors will personally examine and diagnose each patient.
