Congratulations on graduating from optometry school, but also for making it through countless years of traditional “schooling”. From this point in time and onward, the world is your blank canvas and the picture to paint is entirely up to you. I have seen some new grads flourish, and others stay stagnant. I firmly believe this is a conscious choice and one that only you control.

Dr. Dexter's Take

Graduating from Optometry School is going to be one of the most exciting times in your entire life! You've worked so hard for the past 4 years, stayed up endless nights studying for exams, nailed all 3 parts of NBEO, and traveled around the country for clinical rotations... But now comes the hard part! How do you become licensed in the state you'd like to practice? How do you become credentialed for vision and medical insurance panels? What is the best way to look for a job? What are your post-graduation CE requirements and how do you fulfill them? 

Optometry school does a great job at preparing you for graduation, but a lot of you will become lost when it comes to the steps you need to take in order to practice optometry after graduation. Newgradoptometry.com has many excellent resources to get you on your feet and ready for the real world! Check out this link below!
