UIW Rosenberg School of Optometry Hosts The Journal of Optometric Clinical Practice
One of the important aspects of being a healthcare professional is a commitment to leave the profession in a better place at the end of your career. Advancing the profession can be accomplished in several different ways, from participating in your professional associations to mentoring the next generation of practitioners.

The process of staying current can be achieved through a dedication to lifelong learning. which can foster an implementation of new concepts or ideas into your patient care activities.
One valuable source is through peer reviewed publications where other professionals share what they have learned either through case reports, literature reviews or research they have conducted. While practitioners learn from every patient, this promotes a way in which to learn from other practitioners who have had the material they present reviewed by experts in the topical area. The advantage of peer reviewed publications is an assurance that the material is accurate and trustworthy.
