The profession of optometry in Canada is at cross-roads. Down one path, we see governments reducing fees, other professions encroaching on our territory, and corporate entities lowering the value of the services we provide. Down another path, we have the opportunity to fight for increased scope, the opportunity to provide better access to care to our patients, and generally improve the public perception of what optometry stands for.
This week's episode is the second in a two-part series on scope expansion in optometry. In this episode, Dr. Evelyn Lo (President of the BCDO) and Dr. Sarah MacIver (Chair of Continuing Education Committee at UW Optometry) discuss why scope expansion is an integral part of creating a positive outlook for optometry in Canada.
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the first part of this series with Dr. Sophia Leung (President of AOA) and Dr. Shaina Nensi (President of the OAO). And don't forget to share your thoughts about scope expansion to help push this conversation (and the profession forward).
