Opto-Camp For Underrepresented Students
The Admissions and Student Affairs Office at UC Berkeley’s School of Optometry is pleased to announce that they will once again offer the summer “Opto-Camp” program. They will offer two sessions this summer, June 15-17 and July 20-22.
The goal of Berkeley Optometry’s Opto-Camp is to introduce underrepresented pre-health science majors to Optometry as a potential future career track and to prepare them to be successful applicants to optometry school. The objective of Berkeley Optometry’s Opto-Camp is to present a three-day “in residence”
experience that will provide participants with opportunities to learn about the profession of optometry and the process of becoming an optometrist.
Please note that they have incorporated a $100 program fee due to budgetary constraints, however, they are also offering a limited amount of scholarships per session.
Program specifics and the application are linked here.
The application deadline is Monday, April 27, 2009.
