How can the optometric profession expand the pool of qualified applicants?
The American Optometric Association and the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry need an aggressive public awareness campaign to encourage an increase in the pool of qualified applicants for a career in optometry. One of the most significant ways an individual AOA member can impact this process is to serve as role model for potential applicants.
How can the optometric profession expand the pool of qualified applicants?
The health professions, including optometry, are facing a declining applicant pool. The American Optometric Association has taken steps to address the challenge of increasing the pool of qualified applicants to the schools and colleges of optometry. However, the most significant factor in the process will be the efforts of individual AOA members.
How can optometry become more effective in recruiting and retaining appropriate numbers of underrepresented and disadvantaged students.
The proportion of minority students in optometry schools remains very small compared to that in the general population. The numbers in the general population are rising and the gap could widen if serious recruitment programs are not implemented. The most effective methods of expanding the applicant pool and recruiting students involve personal contact with people in the profession. Admissions processes must be carefully analyzed to eliminate systematic bias. Retention programs should be in place and can also be used to benefit all students. Financial aid programs must be expanded to accommodate a higher proportion of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
The recruitment and retention of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups in optometry.
The recruitment and retention of disadvantaged students represents a formidable challenge to optometric educators. Referrals by optometrists and counsellors, visits to minority campuses, and information through the news media can help the recruitment process. Academic achievement and retention rates can be enhanced by tutorial programs, development of learning centers, learning modules, self-paced materials, and computer software. The most important element is the sensitivity of faculty and administrators to the educational needs of the students and the health care needs of disenfranchised populations.
