Background: The current view of the value of residency training among practicing optometrists
seems to be rather inconsistent. The purpose of this survey is to review the opinions of practicing optometrists in Michigan about residency training. Methods: An anonymous survey will be sent to the Michigan Optometric Association and distributed to their current practicing members via email. Results: The completed surveys will be analyzed to determine the attitudes of respondents
toward residency training. Conclusion: Information from this survey will provide a broad overview of what Michigan optometrists think about residency programs. The data will be useful for future optometry students when considering whether or not to apply for a residency training program.
