Dr. Ruth Trachimowicz completed her PhD in anatomy at the University of Michigan, a postdoctoral fellowship in retina research at Boston University School of Medicine, and upon completion of her post-doc she accepted a teaching position in anatomy at the NY College of Osteopathic Medicine. After four years, she decided to change career directions, completing her OD degree at the New England College of Optometry in 1987. Immediately after graduating from NECO, she joined the faculty at ICO. She teaches the human and ocular anatomy courses and also is actively involved in the first- and second-year optometry laboratories as well as the neuroanatomy labs. She has served on the NBEO Ocular/Visual Biology Subcommittee and has attended NBEO item writing conferences. She currently serves on Optometric Education's Editorial Review Board.

Why ICO?

The desire to be able to combine my love of teaching & my clinical skills led me to choose a career at ICO, where a full-time anatomist was actively being sought. Twenty five years later, I still thoroughly enjoy working with the students and remarkably dedicated didactic & clinical faculty at ICO who are eager to share their knowledge and assist the students to become very competent clinicians well prepared for the National Board Examinations and well prepared to enter the field of optometry when they graduate from ICO.

Dr. Donati joined the faculty at ICO in 2004. Since that time he has been the course director and instructor in the first year human physiology, pathology, and immunology course sequence. He has served on numerous committees and is currently the chair of the ICO Institutional Review Board.

Why ICO?

I decided to join ICO because I saw a faculty whose primary goal was to develop the most well-rounded optometric clinicians possible and a student body that was up to the challenge. If that sounds like your future, then ICO is the place for you.

Dr. Hodur is a 1975 ICO graduate and has been a full-time member of the faculty for 35 years. He is currently a professor and is responsible for ophthalmic optics and physical optics education. Dr. Hodur is a member of the Cornea and Contact Lens faculty and is actively involved in the Cornea and Contact Lens Clinic.

Why ICO?

I joined the ICO faculty in July 1975, right after graduating. My career goals were to be involved in education, to remain current in all aspects of optometry, and to participate in the private practice of optometry. Over the years, I have developed a love for education. The challenge that education brings is something that fits my mindset. I strive to understand concepts so I can explain them to someone who may not be familiar with the topic area. Breaking down complex topics, especially optics, down to a level where basic understanding is possible is a passion of mine. Using basic topics in optical understanding and building to more complex systems is the goal I set for teaching. ICO has given me the opportunity to develop my education philosophies in optics along with the freedom to educate students in a way that I see as necessary for optometric skills.

Dr. Sanghera earned her optometry degree from the State University of New York College of Optometry in 2006. She completed her residency in primary care and ocular disease from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2007. She then joined Walter Reed Army Medical Center from 2006 until January 2011, providing care to veterans and active duty military members and their families. In 2011, Dr. Sanghera became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and returned to ICO as a full-time faculty member. She is an active member in the clinic and laboratories.

Why ICO?

I believe that ICO is the ideal optometry school for prospective students for many reasons. The highly qualified faculty strive to provide a nurturing environment to students and embody true passion for the field of optometry. This can be seen in the ongoing research projects, publications in prominent optometry journals, awards and academic affiliations. The courses, laboratories and clinic all prepare the student clinician so that they are able to practice at the highest scope once they have graduated and entered their professional careers. The clinic provides exposure to a challenging patient population at the Illinois Eye Institute and access to state-of-the-art equipment, both of which also prepare the future optometrist well. Finally, Chicago is one of the best cities in the world. Having the opportunity to obtain an optometric degree with all the conveniences of home in such an amazing city is a combination that cannot be surpassed.

After graduating from ICO, Dr. Foreman moved to New York to do a residency in ocular disease and primary care at the Brooklyn and St. Albans VA medical centers. Upon completing the residency, she stayed on as a full-time staff optometrist at the Manhattan VA. In addition to seeing general primary care patients, she spent a great deal of time working with veterans who had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury remains an area of interest. After four years at the VA, she relocated to Chicago and joined on as full-time faculty at ICO. Dr. Foreman works with students mainly in primary care clinics.

Why ICO?

One of the biggest draws of ICO is the amazing clinical experience that our students receive. As we are located in a large city and serve a very diverse population, our students are exposed to a wide range of ocular conditions and situations. This is challenging, highly rewarding and truly the best preparation for becoming a well- rounded and competent clinician.

Dr. Condie is a graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry and also completed a post-doctoral residency at ICO in the area of primary care/ocular disease. She is currently a full-time faculty member who works with students both in clinic and pre-clinical education.

Why ICO?

I would recommend ICO to any students interested in a strong clinical education, as well as an exceptional didactic educational experience. By the time you finish your four- year program at ICO, you will be comfortable with the diagnosis and treatment of many complex diseases, as well as ready to practice in both private practice and corporate settings.
