/What it is: iHire is an industry-focused job search resource that allows users to screen selections according to specialty, e.g., optometrist, location, and marketable skill.
Why it Matters to You: iHire lists the top ten optometry schools in the United States based on the percentage of program students passing their optometry board exams.
Considerations: In relying solely on boards pass rate to determine top optometry programs, iHire admittedly oversimplifies what determines student success and, perhaps more importantly, what makes a good practitioner. Factors such as faculty, almuni network, and diversity of course offerings, all contribute to making a well-rounded graduate.
