RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif - The continuing education platform that’s helping to change the way eye care professionals learn, UUniversity, from VSP Optics, offers a fast, free and easy way for eye doctors and their staff to train and earn certifications through an extensive library of on-demand courses.
UUniversity’s comprehensive catalog of modules, quizzes, webinars and live events, hosted by industry experts, is designed to serve entry-level opticians to experienced optometrists. The platform is one of the many training and education offerings available from VSP Vision™ with a focus on supporting network doctors and staff in achieving their practice goals.
UUniversity’s curriculum includes:
“With more than 17,000 registered users, UUniversity supports eye care professionals in meeting annual certification requirements and developing practice management skills,” said Kristin Montgomery, director of Commercial Operations for VSP Optics. “UUniversity is an indispensable tool, and its curriculum focuses on the most relevant and timely optical industry topics and trends.”
Among the latest series that UUniversity subscribers will have the opportunity to access is the upcoming Unity Via II Webinars on Aug. 10, with 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. (PDT) sessions. Virtual online training from industry experts on this latest innovation from VSP Optics will allow practices to offer more advanced, high-performing products and provide their patients with a better vision experience.
Last year, thousands attended UUniversity courses and peer-to-peer live events, including optician Christie Ruppel of Vincennes, Indiana.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the class and could hear the instructor in my head during the exam,” said Ruppel. “A big ‘Thank You’ to VSP Vision for sponsoring the class. I would not have passed without you and I’m looking forward to a lifelong career in optics.”
