Eye Technician information meeting: rewarding career in just two years

If you would like to be an important part of a clinical team that helps people see better, we encourage you to attend the Eye Technician informational meeting on Wednesday, February 7, at 3:00 p.m. in Room G-335 in the Health Science Education Center (Building G on the main campus).

HFC Certified Ophthalmic Technician Program Director Dr. Kathy Campbell will talk about the program and answer any questions.

“People in this program can earn an associate of applied science degree in just two years, then move on to a rewarding career in the ophthalmology field. The pay is excellent, and there’s a 100% employment rate. Currently, there is no wait list to enroll. And there is no requirement for a COVID-19 vaccination. I encourage everyone who is curious about this field to come and bring a friend,” said Campbell.

HFC has the only accredited COT program in the state of Michigan. It is also the second largest accredited program in the United States. The program has externship agreements with Henry Ford Health System, Corewell Health, and the Detroit Medical Center. It also has 16 private practice agreements. There is a huge demand for technicians because many retired or resigned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am very proud of the success and reputation of the COT program,” said Campbell.
