The EnVision Your Future virtual series offers opportunities to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the UIWRSO program and Optometric profession. During the fall term, each virtual session will be delivered in a presentation and/or Q&A panel format with faculty, current students and administration offering insight into the student life, academic and clinical experiences. Topics include a discussion on the Cardinal Culture, Academic Success in Optometry School, Clinical Curriculum Overview and a Clinical Rotations Preview.
Beyond the benefit of learning more about the quality education offered at UIWRSO, participants of the EnVision series can gain access to Kaplan OAT test preparation courses at deep discounts.
