When you arrive, the doctor tells you she cannot treat you because it is not in her scope of practice We need advocates who will defend our current scope of practice and fight to expand it. Ultimately, I am so involved because when we expand our scope, we help more patients.   I provided a basis, and they energetically and very capably expanded on that. In the end, their wellbeing lies in their hands.

Chaglasian bridges traditional optometric practice with the technologies shaping its future. We’ve significantly expanded opportunities for student research, giving future clinicians hands–on experience I didn’t graduate from this institution, but its mission and its people have shaped my career.
