PCO/Salus Students Learn and are Motivated by Volunteer Clinical Experience
Doctor of Optometry students at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University recently volunteered to be part of the staff serving the Remote Area Medical (RAM) group’s mobile medical clinic at the Pennsylvania Convention Center located in Philadelphia for two consecutive days.
The event allowed several optometrists and optometric interns use their different levels of talents to assist many different families and individuals who have been without eye care for years.
RAM is a non-profit provider of mobile medical clinics delivering free dental, vision and general medical care to underserved and underinsured individuals. It provides comprehensive eye exams for individuals, as well as complimentary glasses — all in one day — to hundreds of people.
