Student Program
The Best Practices℠ Student Program is a part of CooperVision’s annual Best Practices℠ initiative in which three outstanding third-year optometry students can join the prestigious group of eye care professionals at an annual Summit and media relations event.
Selection is based on a student’s academic standing at a U.S. optometry school, demonstration of leadership, and participation in school or community activities. Students must be available to attend the Best Practices’ Summit, Spring 2023. Applications for the 2024 Best Practices Program will open in September 2023.
