For over six years, Brinton Vision has worked with students that are pre-med, pre-optometry, and pre-PA school to create full time positions offering an in depth learning experience in medicine and refractive surgery. Gap-year students working at Brinton Vision can anticipate extensive clinical training in diagnostic testing, medical history taking, electronic medical record (EMR) use, scribing and exam documentation, one-on-one patient care, and customer service. They also receive extensive surgical training in processing and management of sterile surgical instrumentation, scrubbing and the practice of sterile technique, medical laser calibration and operation, administering medications for patient procedural sedation, and all other aspects of the surgical technologist role. Each gap year medical technician will have multiple patient interactions weekly and direct physician observation, as well as emphasis on business development and how to market to an online audience.
