Experience in Optometry

<p>how is experience in optomoetry viewed by ad coms?
even though i dont want to go into the field, does working at an eye clinic count as clinical experience?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Yes its definitely clinical experience. </p>

<p>Do you have any experience with an MD/DO, though?</p>

<p>well i will be shadowing a physician during the summer.
basically, i have an opportunity to work in an eye clinic and assist the doctors and interact with patients. i am simply debating that should i commit myself to such activity even though i definitely do not want to be an opthamologist. also, if such an experience will be counted as “clinical experience” and will be considered valuable by adcoms</p>
