Hi all, I'm a 2nd year opto student. I know that most people take partI in the summer when they finish their 2nd year. I was just wondering when do most people take part II, III, and TMOD. I see that TMOD is not required by many states including California. Does that mean optometrists in those states have more limitations when it comes to prescribing drugs? Would some upperclassmen help answering these questions? Thank you!

so you take Part II & TMOD in Dec of your 4th year and Part III in April of your 4th year before you graduate?

Does anybody know why TMOD is only required by some states and not the other?

thanks!
