Thank you for your interest in becoming a Specialty Contact Lens Externship Site. The Specialty Contact Lens Clinical Externship Committee was founded under GPLI (Gas Permeable Lens Institute) with the goal of identifying and adding new specialty contact lens externship sites for 4th-year optometric students. We appreciate your efforts and time as you take this next step, with the potential to expand your own practice, while simultaneously enriching education for future optometrists.
Survey responses will be reviewed and you will receive an email notification about your application status. Approved practices (along with contact information) will be compiled in a document and shared with optometry schools. Associated Colleges of Optometry may reach out to individual practices and specific requirements for any student externship rotation program must be agreed upon by both parties.
Thank you for your willingness to mentor, teach, and shape the future of optometry. We appreciate you!
