UC Berkeley's Pre-Optometry Club
The Foresight Pre-Optometry Club is a student-run organization that seeks to unit UC Berkeley students and individuals around the area who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of optometry.
Educate
We teach members the necessary skills and we provide members with the necessary tools to shape them into more knowledgeable applicants.
Workshops
We hold various events such as optometry school presentations, detailed workshops on the application process and strategies for tackling to OAT, and socials to allow members the opportunity to meet peers and potential optometry school classmates.
Networking
Foresight aims to create a network between members of the club and current optometrists by keeping strong connections with professors and alumni.
