We recently polled a group of Certified Ophthalmic Technicians on Facebook, asking the question “What do Ophthalmic Technicians most want in a place of employment?” We pooled the responses, and here is what they told us:
- Harmonious work environment–a staff that gets along.
- A practice that takes pride in their staff, rewards certification, as well as enables advancement and growth in responsibility.
- A practice that takes medical ethics and “human care” seriously.
- Doctors and an Office Manager that appreciates and respects their staff, and shows it!
- Appropriate compensation and benefits.
- Reasonable commute and/or amount of travel.
Overall, our conclusion is that Ophthalmic Technicians - like many other eye care professionals - desire a work environment that is ethical, fair, and fulfilling. Perhaps you desire the same, or perhaps your requirements are slightly different. Either way, there’s always a place you can go if you’re looking for a new opportunity in Ophthalmology.
