Clinical Education
The New England College of Optometry offers a superior clinical education that
introduces the aspiring optometrist to a richly diverse patient base in a variety of settings. The clinical curriculum starts
in the first year with the pediatric outreach screening
program. Students participate in a variety of health care settings in the
second year as part of the Clerkship Program. The third year of the
program emphasizes increased patient care responsibilities with assignments in
community health centers, college-owned clinical facilities,
private practices, and Veterans Affairs hospitals. The final year of the program is spent in year-round
full time patient care assignments. Students work under the careful
supervision of faculty mentors who help them hone their clinical skills and
develop expertise in specialty areas of interest. They work in clinical
environments that familiarize them with contemporary health care models that
emphasize visual health through community-based collaborations.
