摘要
The optometric educator has a very important role in the development, analysis, interpretation, and promotion of public health issues. Because public health provides the framework for making rational decisions about the complexities of health care, the optometric educator has a high-order responsibility to educate students in the principles, concepts, and practice of public health. As both a creator and a deliverer of knowledge, the optometric educator also must ensure that the outcomes of his scientific inquiry are translated into relevant health policy and used effectively and efficiently for the benefit of all society. Advancement of the public health philosophy within the venue of optometric education should be the responsibility of all faculty, not just those members of the faculty who have direct responsibility for the public health curriculum.
