The faculty at MCO is dedicated to the clinical and personal success of its students. The top priority for each faculty member is the student first, followed by other personal interests or research endeavors. Keeping up with the latest advances in diagnostic and management techniques gives students at MCO the most current information in the eye care field. This translates from the classroom to the clinic, where students are able to learn from the wide base of knowledge and expertise of the faculty. Many of the instructors have specialty training in specific areas which they use to facilitate a complete educational experience for optometry students and interns.
