Latrice Jones-Bey, program director, said the program was created to provide students with a flexible and direct pathway into a growing healthcare field. "This is a one-year program, and after students complete the program, they are prepared to move forward into employment in an ophthalmology office." "Then during lab and clinical experiences, they are able to practice and become comfortable working directly with patients." Upon completion of the program, graduates will be prepared to sit for the Certified Ophthalmic Assistant certification examination, the entry-level credential for ophthalmic medical personnel. During the 30-minute sessions, participants will meet Program Director Latrice Jones-Bey, learn more about careers in ophthalmic care and the Ophthalmic Clinical Assistant Certificate program, and have the opportunity to ask questions.
