Assessment of the Need for Optometric Education in Puerto Rico: Projected Impact of the IAU School of Optometry.

Marshall, Edwin C.

Journal of Optometric Education, v9 n2 p19-28 Fall 1983

Using several assumptions about the supply, productivity, and use of optometrists in Puerto Rico to 2000, several possible supply-demand situations are projected. The role of the Inter American University in these situations is discussed, based on graduates' probable practice locations and the school's program design. (MSE)
