About Our Program
The last year of the optometry program is divided into in-house and externship rotations.
The in-house rotations involve Primary Care, Cornea and Contact Lenses and Pediatrics and Vision Therapy Clinics. Students are assigned to the services in our clinic locations in Fort Lauderdale, Davie or North Miami Beach.
The externship rotations include a Medical Surgical Care Clinical Externship and a Clinic Elective Externship. Students select the rotations from a variety of sites offered: Combined Optometry and Ophthalmology practices, Optometry private practices, VA medical centers, Military sites, Hospital Based Optometry and international clinics in China. We also provide the opportunity for rotations with different locations of the Indian Health Services.
