Session II – Optometry School Development – Academic Perspective

Focusing on the importance of following uniform optometry curriculum in institutions across the country, the second session in the IVI Online Series for Institutional Development was conducted on 29 January 2015.           

Facilitated by Dr Luigi Bilotto, Director, Global Human Resource Development, Brien Holden Vision Institute, optometry school heads from eleven schools attended the session.
