Description
"Ophthalmic Medical Assisting: An Independent Study Course, Seventh Edition, is a program of self-study that blends fundamental medical and scientific information and basic practical skills often required of beginning ophthalmic medical assistants. This edition has been thoroughly reviewed and updated and includes more than 300 photographs and illustrations, detailed step-by-step instructions for 45 procedures, 25 instructional videos that demonstrate essential concepts and skills, and 12 interactive activities that allow students to explore anatomical illustrations that identify parts of the eye and its surrounding structures and then test themselves on this material. Videos and activities are available online and can be accessed by URL and by QR code. Each chapter suggests additional resources, and a glossary defines nearly 700 important terms used in the book. The complete course, which consists of the self-study textbook and the separate online examination, partially fulfills the requirements for application to become a certified ophthalmic assistant (COA) by the International Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO)"--
