Hello, I've heard the ICO has a PP Clerkship during the summer of the first and 2nd year. Does anyone have information/flyer/pamphlet that they can share? How long is this program and do you actually get "real" experience being able to intern/observe in an optometry office? (If so, does the school help you find offices or are you supposed to be find one on your one? Would the "clerkship" be more like a one day shadowing event, or can you make it a longer internship (i.e. the length of the summer)? Would you have to stay close to ICO during the summer or can you do the program in your hometown?
Does the summer clerkship cost extra tuition fees and are there classes (classroom or online) lectures/supplemental materials that you are required to complete? Or is it more of an "unofficial", relatively flexible "class" where you can negotiate terms with the optometrist you observe?
thanks!
