Success! Great work by our admissions director Dr. Munroe, AOSA trustee Dave, and trustee-elect Marc for the open house.
I really think what Dr. Munroe does is remarkable. I can’t speak for the pre-Dr.Munroe era but I think she’s been doing a fantastic job recruiting future classes of the best and brightest. Just looking at the first year class this year, they are an incredibly tight-knit group of bright and hard working individuals.
What did I do? I was in charge of the slit lamp station. It’s hard to make a slit lamp exam really exciting but I tried my best to do so. I think the 3rd class had the best response when we were examining Dave’s eyes because he had such a great pupillary response to light.
Also they were really interested in the puncta. Most of them had no idea such a thing existed and it was great to educate them that the eyelids don’t just blink straight down but zipper across to push tears to the nasal side to drain into the nasolacrimal system.
