This episode brings a new voice to the Critical Issues in Eye Care podcast -  students. 

Nate Bonilla-Warford, OD met with four students who are all in their 2nd or 3rd year of training at the Illinois College of Optometry. 

• Kristin Elise Dzierwa
• Alex Wiss
• Aaron Nichols
• Brandon Zeeben

The discussion was real and lively. Some of the topics that were discussed were:

• Are they getting enough training for business ownership
• What do students think about eyecare provider supply?
• How important is it to specialize?
• What is their 5 to 10 year outlook?
• What are the pros and cons of optometric residency?
• How do students perceive advanced technology and electronic records
• What do students worry about regarding the future of optometry?
• What about student debt?
• How do they communicate with practicing doctors?
• What advice would they give undergrads considering eye care?
• What, as millennials, would they tell older doctors?

Thanks to these students for donating their time for the podcast.
