AOA president-elect chronicles her whirlwind tour of optometry schools
April 25, 2011
“And so it began. Day 1 of Dori’s March Madness. I’m at SECO followed by SCCO, Western, Arizona, and ICO. The intent is I will be home by March 12th.”
With that March 3 post on her blog, AOA President-elect Dori Carlson, O.D., kicked off a whirlwind tour of four optometry schools in one week. The mini-marathon is part of a larger marathon: visiting with students at all the schools and colleges of optometry in a 20-month window.
Shown above is stop number six of the 20/20 school tour. Dr. Carlson speaks to more than 120 students at Western University of Health Sciences, College of Optometry on March 8.
