Five optometry students complete requirements for national 'fellow' status
Five students in Pacific University’s College of Optometry have earned Student Fellow status with the American Academy of Optometry.
Jaclyn DeHayes-Rice, Darah Newell, Caleb Rink, Megan Sis and Caroline M. Slagle will receive certificates and lapel pins recognizing their achievement. They also will receive complimentary registration for the annual AAO meeting in Phoenix.
Fellowship in the Academy indicates that a member “has met the high standards of professional competence in a broad range of issues related to eye care,” according to the Academy’s website.
The Student Fellow option is new in 2011. It requires students to be in good standing in an optometric program and also attend six hours of continuing education, one hour of scientific talks, one hour of poster sessions, and additional sessions during the AAO annual meeting.
