OPTOMETRIST

BRONX, NY, US


This is a wonderful opportunity for an Optometrist to work at multiple school-based health centers as part of a multidisciplinary team which includes medical, nursing, dental, mental health, and community health services. The optometrist will serve children and adolescents ages 3-24 and will provide screening, full examinations, and assessment/treatment for ocular problems.  We are fortunate to have a partnership with a national eyeglass provider and are able to offer each child who needs glasses a free pair!

 

Must be a NYS licensed O.D.  Diagnose and treat vision problems, eye diseases, prescribe eyeglasses, and limited medication for ocular disorders.

The Department of Ophthalmology credentials all eye care providers in the Montefiore system.  Eligible for faculty appointment in the department if you are full-time and participate in resident or medical student teaching and/or research.  Although you will be employed by our School Health Program, the Chair of Ophthalmology with Montefiore Medical Center is part of the interview process.
