OPT 7030Health Care, Profess, and Diversity
The course introduces the evolution of the US healthcare system, health care reform, the current challenges facing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and their implications for the future of optometry. It presents optometry as a primary health care profession
The course is separated into two components. The first component is genetics and we will look at the basics of DNA, RNA, and proteins examining their structures and how they are synthesize
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the systemic physiology and pathology of the human body. It describes the core principles that will allow students to develop an unde
The General Histology course will introduce the microscopic structure of cells and tissues. It begins with an overview of the differentiation of cells and their organization into tissues. The structure and function of the basic tissue types will be presented. Emphasis is placed on normal stru
Ocular anatomy and histology forms the framework for many of the biomedical aspects of primary vision care by presenting the gross and microanatomy of ocular tissues and fluids. The cou
This course will provide a survey of the general principles of pharmacology and the application of these principles to patient care situations. Evidence-based medicin
Head and Neck Anatomy is an introductory course, and serves as a prerequisite to Neuroanatomy, Neurological Examination and Neuro-ophthalmic Disease courses in the curriculum.
Ocular physiology forms the framework for many of the biomedical aspects of primary vision care by presenting the development and physiology/biochemistry of ocular tissues and fluids. The course provides the knowledge base in ocular tissue structure and
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to systemic immunology and microbiology. The immunology aspect of the course will focus on basic and clinical immunology. The basic immunology content will focus on basi
This course, which is the first part of a two-term sequence, introduces the student to the fundamentals of ophthalmic optics. In this course, students will learn a variety of optical skills that are critical for optometric clinical practice. The course begins with an int
This course is the second part of a two-term sequence that introduces the student to advanced ophthalmic optics. In this course, students will learn a variety of optical principle skills that are critical for optometric clinical prac
This course, which is the first part of a two-term sequence, introduces the student to the fundamentals of geometric optics. The course begins with an introduction to the properties and behavior of light. We will look at how light bends across different surfaces and the resulting images that are produced. I
This course, which is the second part of a two-term sequence, continues our study of geometric optics. In geometric optics 1, we simplified our concepts by working with thin lenses. In this course, we will learn Gaussian optics where we will examine the
The purpose of Vision Science and Perception I (VS & P I) is to guide student study of the functional aspects of the visual, vestibular and auditory systems and to introduce methods and techniques of research in visual physiology and general psychophysics. VS & P 1 include
This course will focus on the theory and clinical application of Clinical Skills for Patient Care. The topics reviewed in this portion of the course include visual acuity, pupillary distance measurement, extraocular muscle testing
The Traineeship stage of the Patient Care program of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University is a series of clinical sessions for patient care in the Salus University clinical settings. The intent of the Traineeship Program is to provide the optometric student the opportunity to observe and begin training by upperclassmen and faculty/resident practitioners in primary eye care. The Traineeship Program is an integral p
