title: Future of optometric education: a student view.
abstract: With the growth of optometry and the advent of a national health insurance plan, the practice of optometry will change. As it does, so too must optometric education. This paper outlines a student's views on how admissions, curricula, new schools, and board certification must change if optometry is to fill a primary health care role.
