NY Optometry Jurisprudence case studies

The New York State optometry license is issued by the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions through the State Board for Optometry. Any use of the title "optometrist" in New York requires it. The credential suits graduates of a four-year Doctor of Optometry program who intend to examine, diagnose, and treat patients in New York; it is not a national credential and does not travel automatically from another state. Requirements fall into four blocks: at least 60 semester hours of preprofessional college study including general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology or zoology, and physics; a professional program leading to the OD degree; passage of NBEO Parts I, II, and III (or Parts I and II plus NERCOATS for earlier candidates); and mandated training in child abuse identification and reporting plus infection control and barrier precautions. The NY Optometry Jurisprudence case studies are 5 cases and about 2,212 words.
