Official documentation of prior educational experience is required for applicants to the program. Applicants must have a high school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate. Preference will be shown to applicants who have completed college level courses and/or have some eye care related work experience.

 

Students must be capable of providing adequate ophthalmic medical clinic patient care. Duke University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disabilities in its admission policies. Our spaces for this program are very limited and we have a commitment to educate people for long-term service in the United States. For these reasons, we do not accept international applicants who have or will need temporary status in the United States.

 

Students must also have access to a computer, as this is the main form of communication throughout the year.
