Bamberg, Heidi M.; Grenier, Elizabeth M.; Harris, Michael G.
Optometric Education, v23 n2 p41-47 Win 1998
Compares the 1995-96 curricula of U.S. optometry schools, focusing on clock hours and proportion of curriculum devoted to specific content areas. Results indicate greater variation in some areas than in others, and changes in curricular emphasis since a previous study, particularly consolidation in hours devoted to basic sciences and expansion in hours devoted to specialty areas.
