In this unit appropriate foundation knowledge that underpins the profession (ocular anatomy and physiology, ophthalmic optics and visual science), scope of practice and competencies relevant to practice (ethics, digital citizenship, law, communication, cultural safety, and evidence-based practice) will be covered. The unit also introduces and applies the concepts of professional identity and skills required when working in a health care setting (professional skills, reflective skills, and research skills). Students will learn the value of teamwork, reflect on their learning and develop lifelong learning skills. Topics introduced in this unit will provide foundation materials for later units in the optometry program, through which you will further develop core knowledge and competencies.
