Three Optometric Residents Awarded Allergan Travel Fellowship
Casey Hamm, O.D., Tamara Mendez Romero, O.D., and Leticia Rousso, O.D., three optometric residents from NSU’s College of Optometry (NSUCO), were awarded travel fellowship grants sponsored by Allergan Eye Care to attend the American Academy of Optometry (AAO) meeting in New Orleans on October 7-10, 2015. The Academy’s Residents Day Committee evaluated the applicants by assessing their curriculum vitae, National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) scores, and an essay on: “What factors contribute to a diagnosis of dry eye? What are the elements of a comprehensive treatment plan?”
