Optometry Mentors
Family Of Optometry Mentors
THE FAMILY OF OPTOMETRIC MENTORS – FOM is simply an Optometric Community of Mentors taking care of Optometrists-in-need.
FOM program utilizes a program feature known as Mentor Families which is when 3 to 4 mentors and mentees engage in structured optometric activities together. This Mentor Families component aims to decrease feelings of isolation, increase mentor confidence and commitment, and also provide that full sense of fulfillment for both optometric mentee and mentors.
In the Family Mentoring program, Optometrists-in-need are matched with trained volunteer mentors who work with them, one-on-one, over an extended period. Mentors are chosen based on clinical experience and versatility in advanced / modern instrumentations. Once a mentee is trained and fully equipped with up-to-date experience, he or she automatically becomes a mentor and a member of FOM and will be saddled with the responsibility of training others that are in need. This is a network and it will go a long way to assist Optometrists and elevate the standard of practice in Optometry.
