Independence is the foundation.
MYODCE values educational independence and believes that collaboration is most effective when it prioritizes clinical relevance, professional integrity, and patient-centered outcomes.
Industry collaboration at MYODCE supports meaningful education. It does not direct it. Content decisions are made on educational merit alone, and relationships are disclosed transparently.
The goal of MYODCE is not simply to educate clinicians or industry independently. It is to foster meaningful educational experiences that strengthen understanding, improve communication, and ultimately advance the profession of optometry.
