Per diem attending optometrists hold temporary faculty appointments that support both the clinical service and teaching missions of the College.

  • 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
