arrow  Katy Aoyagi "I can’t stress enough the importance of getting your feet wet and trying out an internship to see if optometry is ideal for you. You’ll never know whether you like the field unless you witness the behind-the-scenes events of a successful practice."
 
arrow  Amy Lee "In addition to learning some of the basics about optometric care, the internship also taught me much about how to operate a private practice and make it work."
 
arrow  Shalini Samat "I think being an intern demonstrates to schools that you're really interested in this field, and they appreciate that you went above and beyond the basic requirements and really looked into Optometry."
 
arrow  Nina Tran "The best aspects were making great friends, patient interaction, learning optometry lingo, and seeing what private practice was like."
 
arrow  Jasmine Wang "The best part for me was being able to participate directly in running an office and working with patients. I learned some very important principles about patient management and communication."
