“ The Department of Optometry has provided me with clinical training that sets me up to thrive in any optometric setting. More than the didactics, students can count on a united, close-knit community filled with motivated peers, along with faculty who are genuinely invested in students’ success. Being a student at Nims University is only the beginning of a fruitful career, and it is a place you can always call home. ”

“My time with the Nims Dept. of Optometry program not only provided us with the education and patient encounters necessary to excel as optometrists but also eased us into patient care, allowing for thoughtful consideration after each encounter. The exposure to the diverse patient population at the hospital was a privilege, and I am grateful for the opportunity to see patients in a variety of settings. I am now brimming with a sense of comfort and confidence, fully prepared to transition towards independent eye care provision.”

“Guided by top-tier optometry professionals, NIMS University has provided me with a comprehensive clinical experience. Serving a diverse patient population has instilled in me a strong sense of preparedness for my internships. I had the opportunity to rotate through a multitude of primary care and specialty care clinics, including ocular disease, binocular vision, contact lenses, myopia control, low vision, and more. NIMS has offered me opportunities for research and further my professional interests and goals. NIMS is a place where I grown and honed the skills necessary for success. ”

“ My favorite part of going to Nims University is the people. I always feel that the people around me want me to succeed! I can always reach out to professors and administration and get the resources. As an out-of-state student, the people here have always made me feel like I belong. I am so happy to have leaped to continue my education and pursue my dream of being an optometrist here! ”

“ As a first-year student at Nims, my transition into optometry school has gone smoothly. You get a great sense of company to persevere in this new academic atmosphere. The best part is that we always have instructors present in the preclinic and clinic to provide us, which has really helped me persevere in this new academic atmosphere. The instructors provide us with one-on-one feedback, which makes things so much easier. This aspect of the curriculum is what I value the most. I can’t wait to see all the wonderful things the next three years have in store for me”
