Opto-Camp for pre-optometry students
Through a partial grant from ASCO, the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry, the Admissions and Student Affairs team at UC Berkeley’s School of Optometry is pleased to announce that they will once again offer our summer “Opto-Camp” program. They will be offering two sessions this summer, June 18-20, with a repeat session planned for July 16-18.
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.
Opto-Camp is FREE to participants, excluding travel to and from the UC Berkeley campus.
