4th Hour: Keep Educated
On February 7th, I found out that being an Optometrist is not all fun and games. Besides meeting with patients and going to meetings, there is much more to do. My mentor told me that one has to keep educated about the field they work in. He explained that research and discoveries that were found decades ago and even years ago may be outdated. My mentor had me read a couple chapters of multiple books to help educate me about eyes. He had me read about normal ocular health, common ocular conditions, and uncommon ocular conditions.

How were you able to shadow a doctor from Kaiser, did you have a prior connection or is this result special to the field of Optometry?
ReplyDeleteDid you know someone that introduced you to your mentor? It's pretty cool that u can observe an doctor from Kaiser Hospital.
