CSTEP Internship Program at SUNY Optometry

The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) project at SUNY College of Optometry offers two summer programs for undergraduate students. Applicants for the programs described below must be New York State Residents and identify with a historically underrepresented group or an economically disadvantaged background.

1.) Internship: June 4 - June 14, 2019. This is an exploratory program, designed to let students shadow in the clinics, visit private practices, go through professional school readiness workshops, network with students and faculty, and do a research presentation to name a few.
2.) Summer Academic Program: Every Tuesday, June 4 - July 30, 2019. In this academic program, students will get a chance to take introductory optometry curriculum courses with renowned faculty, for 2 elective credits, possibly transferable to the students' college institution. Students also get a chance to shadow one day in the clinic.
