117 | Emerging Career Growth Opportunities for Optometrists Beyond the Consulting Room
Do you want to pivot into a nonclinical career path?
In this inspiring continuation of her “Pivot Opportunities for Optometrists” series, Dr. Diane Van Staden explores the exciting new frontiers emerging for eye care professionals who are ready to evolve with the times.
As technology, artificial intelligence, and global healthcare systems transform at lightning speed, Dr Diane challenges optometrists to think beyond traditional practice.
She highlights where the world is heading - and how you can stay ahead by positioning yourself strategically in growing fields that align with your values, skills, and curiosity.
This episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for any optometrist feeling the pull toward something more impactful, meaningful, and future-ready.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why embracing innovation is essential to avoid being left behind
How digital health and tele-optometry are reshaping access to care
The expanding role of AI and data science in diagnostics and patient care
The power of interdisciplinary and chronic care models in building fulfilling, community-focused careers
How to make an impact in global health, nonprofits, and advocacy work
Why corporate and industry leadership need clinicians’ voices now more than ever
Actionable steps to begin your pivot journey with clarity and confidence
🚀 Key Takeaways:
Staying comfortable with “what’s working” can quietly hold you back from growth.
Technology isn’t replacing clinicians - it’s creating new doors for them.
Optometrists have transferable skills that are highly valuable in innovation, leadership, and health systems development.
The path forward starts with self-awareness, exploration, and action.
