Optometry is more than clinical skills, it’s a people-centered profession built on strong teams and shared goals. This month’s Tools for Success highlights the importance of team building, understanding individual strengths, and leading through collaboration, reminding us that when future doctors support one another, meaningful success follows in both school and patient care. 👁️🤝
