  • VIROLOGY for MEDICAL LABORATORY STUDENTS Mwamisi, Muthwii, Mwala, Mokua
    VIROLOGY for MEDICAL LABORATORY STUDENTS Mwamisi, Muthwii, Mwala, Mokua To the Reader Virology is an important subject in Medical Laboratory Sciences. Medical Laboratory Medicine puts a technologist/technician in the fore front in diagnosis and proper interpretation of the correct diseases by a clinician. Research on viruses, therefore, has gained a lot of momentum in recent years due to the Medical importance they contribute to the field of medicine. A lot of this work goes through the medical laboratory Department where it is handled by the medical laboratory students, especially, on practical experience. The purpose of this manual is, therefore, to provide to the student adequate up-to-date information in preparation for the work that the student will perform in any Medical Laboratory Department, whether research or routine work. We hope this information will not only be useful to the medical laboratory Students or staff, but!also will be a reference material for others in Health or health related field. Joseph M.

  • Modernizing the Scope of Practice of Optometry Will Improve Access to Needed Eye and Vision Health Care for All Maryland Citizens
    P.O. Box 350, Stevenson, MD 21153 ! T: (410) 486-9662 ! F: (443) 378-8845 ! www.marylandoptometry.org Modernizing the scope of practice of optometry will improve access to needed eye and vision health care for all Maryland citizens. It will ensure patients receive the best quality of care available, improve overall patient health outcomes and lower health care costs for both patients and insurers alike. SUMMARY OF SCOPE EXPANSION OBJECTIVES By removing outdated prohibitions in current statute, the bill seeks to better serve optometric patients by allowing Maryland optometrists to: • Prescribe all FDA Approved Therapeutic and Diagnostic Agents (e.g., oral and topical drugs, vitamins, and other therapies) • Independently Treat Glaucoma (development of patient treatment plan & delivery of pre/post operative care) • Perform In-office Diagnostic Testing (e.g., genetic testing via cheek swab and blood glucose testing for diabetes) • Order Diagnostic Tests (e.g., blood work, MRI, x-ray, sonogram, other lab work related to diseases of the eye and ocular system) • Remove Foreign Bodies “STATE OF THE STATE” SCOPE OF PRACTICE FACTS • Doctors of optometry order diagnostic tests in 45 states • Doctors of optometry prescribe controlled substances in 44 • Doctors of optometry to use oral drugs to treat Glaucoma in 42 states • Doctors of optometry prescribe anti-fungal oral medications in 41 states EDUCATION & TRAINING Optometrists receive a minimum of eight 8 years of education and training to obtain the required undergraduate and doctorate degrees necessary to practice optometry. All optometrists are required to pass a three part comprehensive national exam administered by the National Board of Examiners in Optometry prior to receiving their doctorate degree.

  • Optometry (OD)
    Optometry (OD) • Doctors of optometry examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system and eye. They may be the first to recognize systemic diseases in their patients such as diabetes or high blood pressure. • Besides routine eye exams and fitting patients for corrective lenses, optometrists treat many other eye problems including glaucoma and visual skill problems such as the inability to move, fixate and focus the eye. • Although the majority of optometrists practice primary care optometry, some specialize in particular populations or treatments including pediatrics, low vision rehabilitation, sports vision, learning disabilities, and head trauma. • Optometrists also encourage preventive measures such as monitoring children’s vision, evaluating school vision, and promoting nutrition and hygiene education. • Optometrists collaborate with ophthalmologists, physicians (MDs or DOs) who perform eye surgery, as well as diagnose and treat eye diseases and injuries. Education & Licensure • Generally schools require at least two or more years of undergraduate work (90 credit hours). The preference, however, is for students with a bachelor’s degree. • Optometry school is a four year program. The first two years are largely classroom-based and the third and fourth year are spent mostly in clinical settings. After successful completion of the 4 years, students graduate with an O.D. (Doctor of Optometry). • A licensure exam is required. Preparation • Optometry programs look for well-rounded students who are strong in science and have good communication skills. Programs consider GPA as well as the score on the aptitude test, the Optometry Admissions Test (OAT). • They also look for empathy, leadership skills, extracurricular and community activities, and observation experiences in optometric facilities.

ISSN: 2640-5660 International Journal of Ophthalmology & Vision Research ISSN: 2640-5660 ABSTRACT Background: VISION 2020: The Right to Sight, was to ensure that by the year 2020, a great reduction in the incidences of avoidable blindness be recorded. This was achievable by training optometrists. Kenya has a population of 47 million, with 56 registered optometrists who are not regulated by the government. However there is no data on optometrists view on the future of optometry in Kenya and the public health implication. Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire was emailed to 56 registered optometrists. The questionnaire contained broad areas such as demographics of participants, their view on status of optometry in kenya, challenges faced by the optometrists, availability of lecturers, their concerns on the way forward and how these issues impacts on public health.
