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.
