Salus PCO Alum Janice Chau Named 2020 Vision Award of Excellence Winner by AAOF
Salus University’s Janice Chau, OD ‘20, has been named the recipient of the 2020 Vision Award of Excellence in Contact Lens Patient Care by the Academy of Optometry Foundation (AAOF) and Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
Through the University’s 3+4 Doctor of Optometry program, an academic partnership formed with participating institutions, Dr. Chau completed her doctorate in seven years as opposed to the traditional eight-year commitment. As a student, her demonstration of skillful knowledge of contact lens care earned Dr. Chau recognition as an outstanding fourth-year student clinician – and a $500 educational award.
Continuing to seek out opportunities to develop herself as a healthcare provider, she will pursue a one-year residency in ocular disease at Woolfson Eye Institute in Atlanta, Ga., where she will focus on refractive and ocular surgery.
