Spanish/English Translations of the Most Common Eye Conditions. Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH) trips have to be some of the most challenging and rewarding trips during your optometry school careers.
Challenging because some of us are trying techniques we learned in school for the first time, while others are seeing a whole bunch of people in a small amount of time. For everyone, there is a pretty nasty language barrier to try and work with to help your patients understand what is going on and how you can help them. I do know a guy that is pretty good with that nasty Spanish language barrier… ME! I lived in Mexico for 2 years and learned quite a bit of Spanish.

Guide to Writing an Abstract. A biomedical abstract serves as the initial report of new knowledge related to scientific work.
Abstracts submitted to ACCP undergo a peer-review process by a committee of experts that reads and grades the submitted work. The review process is often burdened by ineffectively written abstracts. Well-written abstracts are more likely to be accepted for presentation. To expedite the review process and assure effective scientific communication, abstracts submitted to ACCP are required to follow a standard format. Writing an effective abstract is best learned under the supervision of a more experienced mentor.
