I remember someone a while ago posted some sample material that they learned (I think it was microbio?). I'd like to share some of the transcripted Anatomy & Physio lecture (1 hour's worth) for 1st years here at SCCO.
Here's a link: View attachment sneakpeek.doc
Two things I have to say about the notes:
1) The hardest thing about optometry school is not the material itself but the staggering amount of information you'll need to jam in your brain in the short amount of time given (IMHO of course...but many of my classmates agree).
2) Try to retain as much as you can from your undergrad/OAT studies because it will most definitely come back to haunt you in opt school!!! Just look at the lecture and you'll see what I mean! Also, I made sure to keep all of my undergrad notes because some of those mnemonics you make up will be helpful.
3) Guess what...even after you re-learn all of the A&P/Biochem/Optics/etc. for midterms and finals, you will have to re-gurgitate all of that info AGAIN during boards!!!
So that's more of a reason to really pay attention during undergrad!
