Summer Shadowing Contest

The HCPE Summer Shadowing Contest is designed to recognize rising 2nd-year students who use their summer break to gain additional exposure to the profession. Participants are tasked to shadow or work for, at minimum, two optometrists in at least two practices.  They must log and verify their hours and complete a written reflection of their experiences.
