Summer + Further: Serve the People
A multidisciplinary clinic in Santa Ana is looking for volunteers for their vision center for the SUMMER and beyond. You only have to commit one day a week (or more if you want) and you'd mostly be helping with pre-testing and scribing. Really excellent to gain experience beyond refraction (a lot more pathology). Depending on which day you would like to commit, you will be helping different populations who are underserved, including patients who are homeless, undocumented immigrants, low-language patients, and children. If you are interested in applying, contact Dr. Wendy Tran (wendy.tran@blinkoptometry.com) to set up an interview.
