At Latinos en Optometry, our mission is rooted in the belief that racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals strengthens our health care system. A diverse workforce expands access to care, improves quality for underserved communities, and ensures that the health needs of our increasingly diverse population are met with cultural sensitivity and excellence.
With the support of industry partners and The Vision Council, we have hosted panel discussions at Vision Expo meetings that bring together leading voices in eye care to explore issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the profession. These conversations highlight both the challenges and the opportunities we face in building a workforce that truly reflects the communities we serve.
We invite you to watch these discussions and join us in advancing a more inclusive future for optometry. Click the links below to access recordings of our Vision Expo panels:
