Dr. Michaels also addresses the issue of subsectioning within the optometry profession and the importance of unity. He highlights the growing awareness among new graduates about scope of practice and the need for continued advocacy. The conversation concludes with a reminder that relationships and education are key to achieving legislative success. Takeaways: Building relationships with legislators is crucial for advancing scope of practice. The optometry profession needs unity and collaboration to overcome subsectioning.
