ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
TRIBUTE TO A LEADER
The optometric profession has and will continue to expand its scope of
practice. As such, the need for advanced training and education in the
diagnosis and management of ophthalmic conditions continues to grow.
These conditions are not only limited to ocular disease, but also functional
vision disorders, neuro-ophthalmic disease and the recognition of ocular
manifestations of varying systemic conditions and associated treatments.
This annual conference is a tribute to
Dr. Joseph C. Toland, a PCO graduate and
professor with over 40 years of service.
His avid support of optometric education
and residency training has paved the way
for how we practice optometry.
This program features 8 hours of COPE approved continuing education.
Outstanding clinicians and educators will discuss new and evidence based
approaches in the treatment and management of ophthalmic disorders
affecting anterior and posterior segments, systemic disease, neuroophthalmic pathways, and functional vision. It will also feature our residents,
who will present two sessions of rapid fire grand rounds.
Salus University extends our deepest
respect and gratitude to Dr. Toland. In his
honor, all proceeds from this annual event
will directly benefit our residency program.
RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Salus University manages one of the nation’s largest residency programs. We
offer post-graduate training in primary care, ocular disease, vision rehabilitation,
pediatrics/vision therapy, and cornea/contact lenses. Currently there are twelve
in-house residents at The Eye Institute and twenty-five affiliated residents,
at various locations covering northern New Jersey through Florida. Our
residents receive excellent training while providing patient care to a large and
diagnostically diverse population, rotating among specialized clinical services,
attending lectures and presenting at scientific meetings.
