I recently looked over the National Board of Optometry format exams just to see how much they might have changed from when I went thru it. Part 3, the clinical exam, in the last section tests candidates on intramuscuar, intradermal and intravenous injections- simulate on a dummy. Are these injections now taught in OD school? If so, WHY? What purpose do they serve in Optometry?
I was staggered, really thrown off when I read this.
Can anyone out there- President of the Amer. Optometric Assoc. State Board personnel, Presidents and CEO of Optometry schools and colleges and veteran OD working in VA hospitals etc........tell me about this.
