¶ … graduation from Optometry school where I will earn a Doctor of Optometry degree, I will pursue an Optometry residency program in a distinguished healthcare facility in my geographic area of choice. Upon entry into the residency program, I look forward to many experiences which will allow me to engage in contact with patients who suffer from a host of ocular diseases and to acquire knowledge regarding their needs and personal experiences with those ailments. In addition, I hope to acquire research skills and experience that will foster growth and fulfill personal objectives. I also anticipate that upon completion of the residency program, I will join an experienced optometrist in order to acquire additional valuable experience in the field. These events will provide me with a wealth of knowledge from which I will cultivate my personal skills and talents.

After I have gained ample experience in the field of optometry, I hope to establish my own private practice and continue to build upon my strengths, expertise, and interest in ocular disease, patient well being, and research. I will remain committed to my patients and will continue to seek answers to their questions regarding their ocular health and welfare. Concurrently, I anticipate the development of strong relationships with staff members, distinguished optometrists and researchers, and local community members in order to provide optical solutions for the greater good of all mankind.

Finally, I hope that someday, I will be able to take my talents, skills, and experience to foreign countries where ocular diseases are highly prevalent. These endeavors will allow me to provide essential medical care and encouragement for persons who live in poverty or other detrimental conditions. I will perform my duties to the best of my ability in order to accomplish what I can for those who require support the most.
