[optimal] Do you want to help people tranistion into ophthalmic imaging?
I have noticed an increase in the number of people contacting me about an
interest in our field of ophthalmic imaging. They have been professional
photographers, museum archivists with an interest in photography and from
other random fields. All of them seem to know someone who knows that this
field exists and suggested they find out more. I always introduce them to
the OPS, JMC, RIT, etc. They all say the same thing "there's not much out
there about this."
With the launch of the new OPS website, we will also be starting a blog.
I plan to write a blog entry that we can point these transition people
towards. I would like to include contact information of people across the
country for this blog entry so that these people can contact someone
receptive to helping them. If you are interested in helping people
transition to this field, please let me know.
I think it makes most sense to list how you are willing to help:
Mentor:
Discuss the field of ophthalmic imaging with those interested in
transitioning into the field.
Shadow Day:
Offer to have those interested in transitioning into the field visit your
office for 2-4 hours to see what it's like.
Internship:
Offer to teach those interested in transitioning into the field how to
perform OCT, fundus photography and fluorescein angiograms. Lengths of
internships may vary, but a minimum of 4 weeks is recommended.
If you need help organizing an internship, myself or others can help
you.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Sarah
