Teachers

The education programs of the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology are substantially strengthened by volunteers. In general, these volunteers are ophthalmologists and others willing to teach our ophthalmic assistant, ophthalmic technology and ophthalmic technician students scientific matters related to this profession.

Career Day

Volunteers are needed to visit Career Day gatherings in high schools and junior colleges to describe the career opportunities available through our educational programs. Although the ophthalmic supporting personnel career fields offer wide and satisfying opportunities for young people, the profession is little known or appreciated by school career counselors and, of course, by their students. Volunteers willing to assist in this effort are desperately needed.

Clinical Affiliates

The Institute is always in need of ophthalmological offices and practices with facilities and employees who are willing to help train ophthalmic assistants, technicians and technologists. These clinical rotations are essential to the development of the skills necessary to aid in the practice of this specialty.

(For the clinical site there's always the possibility of helping to train a future employee.)
