Abstrakt: In the fall of 2000, the faculty of the Cornea Center for Clinical Excellence (CCCE) at the Illinois Eye Institute was charged with the task of developing "Entry-to-Practice" criteria for graduating students. The goal was to develop a list of patient encounters, material usage, and clinical analysis that a new graduate should master before entering the practice of optometry. The authors faced two challenges. The first was to define and develop a definition of entry to practice in contact lens and cornea, and then to develop a tool to document the standards defined. The authors discuss how these standards are currently applied at the Illinois Eye Institute Cornea Center for Clinical Excellence and the next step in applying the standards to all affiliated clinical sites.
