Introducing Future Focus: The Podcast That Pulls Back the Curtain on the Optometry Industry
For young optometrists, the transition from student to practitioner comes with big decisions—from practice ownership to digital marketing to work-life balance, the right path isn’t always clear.
Future Focus is a podcast that explores these turning points, featuring real conversations with optometrists who’ve been there. This season, OSI Group has partnered with NextGen as the official sponsor, supporting a five-episode series where OSI Members share what they’ve learned firsthand!
Each episode offers a different perspective, tackling the realities of independent practice, rural optometry, career growth, mental health, and more.
