Job description

Attending Optometrist And Clinical Preceptor

The New England College of Optometry (NECO) invites applications for a unique per diem, non-benefits position as an Attending Optometrist and Clinical Preceptor at the Optometry Clinic at Pine Street Inn, in association with the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) in Boston, MA.

This role involves providing care one day per week, scheduled on either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, with an effort of up to 0.2 FTE, based on clinic and programmatic needs. This single day per week combines well with other part time academic or private practice schedules.

We are seeking a clinically skilled optometrist with an interest in community-based care and optometric education to work in a clinic with a high prevalence of ocular pathology. Collaboration between the attending optometrist and student interns helps address barriers to accessing care in this population. Optometry works closely with primary care and case management teams at BHCHP. Responsibilities include providing direct patient care and teaching and precepting optometry students. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to educating future optometrists in high-quality, interdisciplinary care.

NECO's mission is to improve the vision and eye health of populations through excellence in collaborative and community-oriented patient care, service, education, and research. NECO optometrists are clinician-educators who work within a multidisciplinary, non-profit eye care network serving the diverse vision and eye health needs of the greater Boston community. Per diem attending optometrists hold temporary faculty appointments that support both the clinical service and teaching missions of the College.

Requirements

  • Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree
  • Massachusetts licensure with TPA+ certification, including glaucoma and anti-infective privileges
  • Advanced professional credentials, such as residency training or equivalent clinical experience
  • Appropriate credentials for a temporary clinical faculty appointment
  • Demonstrated commitment to excellence in patient care and clinical teaching

Experience working with a diverse patient population and proficiency in languages other than English are preferred, but not required.
