Tower Clock Eye Center welcomed nearly 20 medical students from the Medical College of Wisconsin for an afternoon of instruction yesterday. Karl Schwiesow, MD; Tyson Schwiesow, MD; Kurt Schwiesow, MD; and Matt Thompson, MD, each taught small groups of students how to perform a battery of basic eye exams.
“The goal of the college’s Bench-to-Bedside program is for us to provide these students a hands-on experience in fundamental eye exam techniques,” said Dr. Tyson Schwiesow. “This approach has many advantages, including that we provide immediate feedback to students as they perform each test.”
The groups were stationed in several of the clinic’s exam rooms and used the equipment in a mock exam setting. Each student had a pupil dilated and exams were performed on their fellow students.
“We’re proud that Tower Clock Eye Center can play a part in helping the next generation of doctors achieve their goals,” added Schwiesow.
Last night Tower Clock Eye Center hosted a continuing medical education event where Dr. Annette Giangiacomo, MD, presented on glaucoma to nearly 30 area optometrists. The event also served as an open house for our new state-of-the-art Appleton surgery center.
Dr. Kurt Schwiesow, MD, presented to a large group of optometrists as part of a Continuing Medical Education event held last night in Oshkosh. Dr. Schwiesow, a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist, spoke on the latest advanced treatments for the disease, including iDose TR and Durysta.
