Enroll NowMeet Dominque, Our President of Orbis Future Vision Leaders
“Being the president of the Orbis future vision leaders, in the past, I’ve been involved in the organization of conferences for Doctors Without Borders. And for me, Orbis is kind of the Doctors Without Borders for eye care. I looked into Orbis a bit more and realized there were no student opportunities per se. I wanted to create a way for medical students and residents to get involved.”
