#fbf Earlier this month, @scco.ppc and @vspvisioncare hosted a festive dinner cruise along Newport Beach Habor and a networking social for SCCO students and local optometrists. Not a bad way to spend the evening! #PrivatePractice #MBKUAmbassador
Warm wishes to you all during this holiday season! It will be quiet in our neck of the woods, with our campus and offices closed until January 6. We look forward to another bright new year ahead in 2020!
Happy Holidays Round-up from the Extracurricular Committee, SPAS Class of 2021 and SCCO Class of 2023 and 2022!
Ready, jet-set, go! Our plush pals, Poncho and Leon, enjoyed some nice views of Santorini and the Vatican! If you're going somewhere fun this winter break, we'd love to see your #MBKUView tag us in your post to share ?️?✈️
Smiles and service go hand in hand for @mbku_lionsclub, "Lions in Sight teamed up with Community Presbyterian Church in Ethiopia and it was nothing short of amazing! Over 3,000 people were seen, 2,000 people received glasses, 1,000 pairs of sunglasses were dispensed, and over 300 cataract surgeries were documented in just 5 clinic days."
Check out the highlights of @ashpofficial Midyear Clinical Meeting 2019 from P-4 Sahar Matin, "Another great experience at #ASHP19; It was indeed bigger, brighter and more fun than ever! ASHP Midyear has provided me an avenue for updating my knowledge, networking with colleagues, enhancing my communication skills, and learning about various residencies and postgraduates opportunities! I also got to present two of my posters, which afforded me an excellent opportunity to share and pick up ideas that have been successful in health-system pharmacy." #MBKUAmbassador

This awesome group of 22 students, 6 doctors, 4 opticians and three staff members (all volunteers) participated in delivering care to 74 patients and prescribed 69 pairs of eyeglasses at @calvarychapeleastanaheim Blessfest 2019. Although it was rainy, everyone’s spirits were uplifted from guests from various shelters throughout Orange County.
One of our talented students, Caroline Quan, SCCO '22, was recently featured in @womenods and she shared how her passion for art and optometry coincided, “With art and all that I do in optometry, it’s about the story telling. The eyes and its blood vessels are telling a story about the rest of the patient’s body." http://bit.ly/2LPpxed
