Residency education has enjoyed relatively slow but steady growth since its inception in the mid-1970s. A certain segment of recent graduates consider graduation from optometry school as entry level and perceive the need for additional clinical education. The creation of new residency programs and the expansion of existing ones may occur in a variety of settings. For residency education to realize its full potential, optometry must seek federal support for post-graduate clinical education. This would be consistent with federal support provided to other professions for the support of post-graduate clinical education.
自20世纪70年代中期住院医师培训教育开始以来，其发展相对缓慢但稳定。最近毕业的一部分学生将视光学学校毕业视为入门水平，并认为有必要接受更多的临床教育。新的住院医师培训项目的设立和现有项目的扩展可能在多种环境中出现。为了使住院医师培训教育充分发挥其潜力，视光学必须寻求联邦政府对研究生临床教育的支持。这将与联邦政府对其他专业提供的研究生临床教育支持相一致。
