RESIDENCIES WITH UNIQUE REPUTATIONS

The Residency Program A one-year residency at the University Eye Center (UEC) or one of the College's af liated sites is a unique opportunity for new optometrists to experience a diverse mix of patients and cases as they develop advanced clinical competencies in a particular area of vision care. Throughout the year, residents participate in grand rounds, workshops and/or a series of lectures and seminars at the College and its af liated residency sites. Each resident is required

to present a minor and major presentation and submit a paper of publishable quality. SUNY’s unique program provides all those in af liated residencies with the opportunity to interact with residents and faculty at sites other than their own. All residencies are accredited by the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education or, if new, are in the process of being accredited. At the completion of the residency program, the College confers a Certi cate of Advanced Clinical Competency.
