ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
TRIBUTE TO A LEADER
Dr. Joseph C. Toland was a beloved teacher
and clinical provider who selflessly supported
the mission of the Pennsylvania College
of Optometry at Salus University and the
optometric profession through advocacy and
leadership. To honor the memory and legacy
of Dr. Toland, Salus University Pennsylvania
College of Optometry has established the
Joseph C. Toland Memorial Scholarship
to be awarded annually to an optometry
student(s) who epitomizes the caring and
compassionate attributes of Dr. Toland.
The optometric profession has and will continue to expand its scope of
practice. As such, the need for advanced training and education in the
diagnosis and management of ophthalmic conditions continues to grow.
These conditions are not only limited to ocular disease, but also functional
vision disorders, neuro-ophthalmic disease and the recognition of ocular
manifestations of varying systemic conditions and associated treatments.
January 18, 1931 - December 4, 2016
Please consider making a donation to his scholarship.
This program features EIGHT hours of COPE approved continuing education.
Outstanding clinicians and educators will discuss new and evidence-based
approaches in the treatment and management of ophthalmic disorders
affecting anterior and posterior segments, systemic disease, neuroophthalmic pathways, and functional vision. It will also feature our residents,
who will present two sessions of rapid-fire grand rounds.
RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Salus University manages one of the nation’s largest residency programs. We
offer post-graduate training in primary care, ocular disease, vision rehabilitation,
neuro-ophthalmic, pediatrics/vision therapy, and cornea/contact lenses.
Currently there are twelve in-house residents at The Eye Institute and twenty-five
affiliated residents, at various locations covering northern New Jersey through
Tampa, Florida. Our residents receive excellent training while providing patient
care to a large and diagnostically diverse population, rotating among specialized
clinical services, attending lectures and presenting at scientific meetings.
