Ophthalmic Technical Training Program

We recently concluded our Spring 2013 Ophthalmic Technician Training Program for individuals seeking to jump start potential careers in healthcare. After the success of our inaugural program in the Fall of 2012, we were excited to once again offer the program. Three individuals seeking to advance their careers participated in the six week training program at our Plymouth Meeting office. Mid Atlantic Retina incurred all costs, including materials and instruction.
The program’s trainers, Candace Leonardo & Kimberly Alcorn, were able to take advantage of over 30 years combined experience in retina and blend their expertise with hands on training using industry wide standard materials from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology.

The participants completed the Ophthalmic Technician Training Program on Thursday, May 16, 2013 armed with potential new skills to step into a new career. Efforts were made by Mid Atlantic Retina to match participants with existing job openings throughout Pennsylvania.

With the overall success of the program, we are anticipating a Fall 2013 class. If you are interested in registering, please contact smartini@midatlanticretina.com .
