Overview
The College has a rich history in clinical residency education. The Residency in Vision Therapy was the first year-long program in the country. Residencies provide the opportunity to gain increased knowledge and clinical training for the newly graduated optometrist in a particular area of vision care.
Throughout the year, residents participate in grand rounds, workshops and/or a series of lectures and seminars at the College. Emphasis is placed on the development of the residents' didactic and clinical teaching skills. Each resident is required to present a minor and major presentation and submit a paper of publishable quality. SUNY's unique didactic program provides all affiliated residencies the opportunity to interact with residents and faculty at sites other than their own. All residencies are one-year in duration and are either accredited or in the process of accreditation by the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education (ACOE). The starting date for all residency programs is July 1. At the completion of the residency program, SUNY confers a Certificate of Advanced Clinical Competency.
