Conducted as a series of discussions, lectures and demonstrations by members of the residency faculty and staff, this program is designed to present challenging clinical cases and to integrate the basic health and visual sciences with diagnostic findings and management options. To achieve this objective, each of the sections of the course curriculum contain related aspects of basic and clinical science and is accompanied by a self-assessment procedure. This will enable course participants to evaluate their knowledge and problem solving ability during the learning process.
As an educational program, this course serves primarily as an adjunct to optometry residency training. All VA optometry residents and SCCO residents and students have first priority to attend Grand Rounds. For this reason as well as patient comfort factors, a very limited number of pre-registered doctors can be accommodated.
