Optometric Residency Programs

The Michigan College of Optometry is well known throughout the health care professions for graduating highly skilled Doctors of Optometry. However, some graduates wish to specialize in certain aspects of eye care which requires an additional year of clinical training in the desired specialty area. The Michigan College of Optometry offers ten post-doctoral residency programs. Dr. Alison Jenerou, OD, FCOVD, FAAO is the Director of Residencies. 

COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement: Please check with each program’s supervisor for vaccine requirements prior to submitting an application.
