This course provides students the opportunity to further enhance their low vision rehabilitation knowledge and have hands on clinical experience under the guidance and supervision of a clinician specializing in vision impairment and rehabilitation. Three controlled patient care cases are selected for the students that include patients with central vision loss, peripheral field loss and congenital visual impairment. Along with the completion of these low vision examinations, the students develop scholarly writing skills through a mentor-guided, case-centered writing assignment based on these controlled care patients' experiences. Finally, the students develop presentation skills through grand-rounds lecture presentations.
