About the 2024 Industry Collaborative with Dr. Gary Chu.
“I was surprised by how honest — and sometimes painful — the discussions were at the Industry Collaborative. Listening to educators, community healthcare leaders, and industry leaders debate difficult topics with complete candor was so refreshing and gives me hope for the future of optometry.”
