Third Year In the third-year students continue to take didactic courses in areas of ocular disease, contact lenses, binocular vision, public health and optometric practice. In addition, students are required to take two elective courses in the third year. Electives on special and advanced topics are offered during the summer and winter of the third year. While course work continues, students are also providing patient care in the primary care service in the UEC. Students are assigned to small clinical teaching units – called pods –comprised of students and two doctors. Each pod meets weekly for a full day clinical session and includes an integrative seminar where patient care is discussed. Students are assigned to a single pod for 16 weeks, spending 8 weeks with each of the two faculty members during the semester. Total lecture, lab, and clinic hours in a term are listed below.
