Each student chooses one, different, interesting case from their previous clinical experience. The student presents the case and answers questions related to the case and the patient's condition(s). Faculty discussants will direct the students in assessing the basic and clinical science features of the cases. Patient cases may be chosen from any aspect of optometric practice. Students also enhance their understanding of the conventions and purposes of communication modes in optometry, techniques to analyze and communicate issues to multiple audiences, and selection of language appropriate to different contexts.
