ODS 8642 Patient Care 3 1.5 Credit
The Traineeship stage of the Patient Care program is a series of clinical sessions, which include the Patient Care 1 through 3 courses. The intent of the Traineeship Program is to provide the optometric student the opportunity to observe and begin training by upperclassmen and faculty/resident practitioners in primary eye care. The Traineeship Program is an integral part of the curriculum and is designed to develop the novice optometric student into a student intern who will begin to examine patients. Gradually, the student-clinician assumes responsibility for the care and welfare of patients assigned for level of training achieved in the Clinical Skills sequence.
