ASCO’s Commitment to Facilitating Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice
The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) advances optometric education and research to enhance the health and well-being of the public. ASCO accomplishes this mission through collaboration with educators, administrators, residents, students, industry, government, healthcare organizations, and other stakeholders through its education, research, advocacy, and development activities.
“Attributes of Students Graduating from Schools and Colleges of Optometry,” initially published by ASCO in 2000 and updated in 2011, is comprised of competency statements that broadly define the attributes expected of graduates from each school or college of optometry.13 Included in the expected attributes is interprofessional collaboration in the care of patients.
