Our Career Development Center is seeing more and more of our graduates go on to pursue a specialty, on top of their already comprehensive and top-notch education. This panel will feature niche practitioners in specialty contact lenses, vision therapy and rehabilitation, pediatrics and myopia control, and ocular disease. Each specialty is remarkably different than the other so come hear from our specialists and see what their career and every day working experience is like. Maybe one of these is a good fit for you!
