But I am going to...
Technology is ever changing, and the "latest" that you have at your school today.. will most likely be gone tomorrow.
Yes, CE is for us to keep our licenses active, but the purpose is to keep current on changes/advances in the medical profession.. and... the "latest" technology. Your education doesnt end after four years.
What disturbs me the most, is that these students at the new schools seem to be short sighted. Obtaining an OD isnt the end of it, its just the beginning.
I would be asking, "What am I going to do after I graduate if the school is still in preliminary accreditation (or GOD FORBID! accreditation revoked)?" All states (if I am not mistraken), require you to have graduated from an approved/accredited school optometry. If your school isnt accredited, guess what, you arnt getting a state license. Without that license, you wont be able to get that awesome job at America's Bestness.
Dont want to scare you, but its a serious question. No job and massively in debt, isnt a good combo. Another important point: its difficult as it is to join insurance panels going to an accredited school; I cant imagine what the companies are going to do when they see an influx of NEW optometry school applicants. Im assuming its going to be very difficult becoming a provider. The credentialing process will be endless since most of them will have never heard of these programs.
The optometrists that these students "shadowed" did them a great disservice, if you cant get into an accredited program this year or the next, maybe its time to do something else.
