We've missed having our students on campus! Ambassador Joanne Vuong shared with us, "After a year of closure due to COVID, the library is back (at least for 3rd and 4th year OD students ?)! I wish all my 3rd year classmates luck as we continue on trekking through what seems like endless KMK notes ?. The end is in sight ? and we’ll soon be able to say we conquered NBEO part 1! Good luck, power through, we got this! ?"

#tbt with the SPAS Class of 2022 learning how to use POCUS, or Point-of-Care Ultrasound, to look at the gallbladder, lung sliding in the lungs and take a look at all four chambers of the heart! ?

In the first video, the gallbladder is the dark oval shaped object. The second video shows lung sliding up at the very top where you can see slight movement within the bright white line and the third video shows a healthy, beating heart!

How amazing is it that these MBKU students helped vaccinate against COVID-19! Over the weekend, PA and COP students worked together at Soka University to help vaccinate over 2,000 individuals. The event was supervised by COP faculty Dr. Vo, Dr. Mingura, Dr. Yamzon, and several community Physician Assistants.

Way to go SCCO for having the largest number of new Student Fellows in the American Academy of Optometry in 2020! To achieve this, students took time outside of their studies to attend @aaopt events and lectures including over 12 hours of programming, along with CE, poster and paper sessions, residency and graduate program fair, and the exhibit hall over about a two-week period. Although 2020 limited many activities, we’re grateful that students were able to capitalize on the accessibility of Academy events.
