Student Review
"My goals were to strengthened my management and communication skills with patient. This site has allowed to me work with different doctors and learn about their expertise as well as their management style. From those experiences, I was able to improve my management and patient communication skills. The clinic also offers specialty services such as myopia control and vision therapy -- which was very fun to help manage and observe. The doctor and staff are very supportive and knowledgeable. This site was overall very rewarding and a great learning experience."
