Recruiting and Retention Resources
Today, it is more important than ever to recruit and retain high-quality candidates who approach paraoptometric practice as a career that they can grow along with your practice.
Hiring and keeping dedicated and thoughtful paraoptometric staff is the key to a successful and healthy practice.
Here you can find the AOA Paraoptometric Recruiting & Retention Resources, a suite of tools to support doctors and practices through staff recruiting, onboarding and retention. Come back to this resource as we develop additional tools. And, if you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to the AOA Education Center.
Today, the job market is more challenging than ever and we know you are looking to recruit staff who will be dedicated and proactive members of your practice team.
Once you find the right paraoptometric professional, providing them with a solid foundation of your practice, what they should expect and what you expect of them is critical to a strong working relationship.
Your practice success will only improve with motivated and engaged paraoptometric staff who are committed to your practice and patient eye health and vision care.
