Comprehensive examinations in Anatomy and Physiology, Pathology and Pharmacology, Physiological Optics, Optometrical Optics, Optometry. Graduation in Optometry is contingent upon successful completion of these comprehensive examinations involving oral, written and clinical applications of optometry. These examinations are ordinarily held in the final examination period of the Winter term, fourth professional year. These examinations have been approved for purposes of licensure for 1980 by the Council of the College of Optometrists of Ontario.
