All About Residencies: A Survey Of Past Residents From The Michigan College Of Optometry.

Background: There have been a limited number of surveys of past optometric residents
and there have been none specific to past residents from the Michigan College of Optometry (MCO). This survey was designed to gather a broad array of data about residents and the residency programs they completed in an effort to educate and inform current and future MCO students who may be interested in completing a post-graduate residency program. Methods: MCO graduates who have completed a residency program were contacted via e-mail and asked to complete an online survey; the link to the survey was available in the e-mail. Results: The surveys were tallied, revealing valuable information about residency programs. Conclusions: The data was compiled so many aspects of residencies can easily be accessed by current and future MCO students or other interested parties.
