From: Narrowing the gap between eye care needs and service provision: the service-training nexus
Training flows in eye care, showing training stage numbers, normal entry and exit points and sideways career movement possibilities (dashed lines). "Existing/Upgraded" means the applicant has acquired or must acquire sufficient entry-level education before entering the course. A module's duration (shown in brackets) is a guide only. A full optometry course will take 4–5 years.
