Career PowerPoint:
Optometry and Physician Assistant Professions
Kaitlyn Greiner
Introduction
 A career in optometry
involves the examination of
the eyes and other parts of
the visual system. Visual
problems and diseases are
diagnosed and treated.
 I am drawn to this career
because I want to become
an expert in a specialized
area.
 A career as a physician
assistant involves practicing
medicine under the
supervision of a physician.
Physician assistants
examine, diagnose, and treat
patients.
 I am drawn to this career
because there are so many
areas of medicine in which to
practice to choose from.
