Orthoptics

Three years, including:

• In terms of the theory, see the teaching departments’ reference system: classes are prioritised over the placements but they do not excuse students from carrying out the total required time for placements every year.

• A hospital placement in an ophthalmology department: students are on placement for an average of 5 to 6 half-days per week. They are assigned to hospitals in Paris or on the outskirts based on the preferences they chose at the beginning of each academic year.

Students’ preferences will be taken into account based on how they ranked academically:

• for 1^st year students: by the mark they obtained in the entrance exam
• for 2^nd and 3^rd year students, by the mark they obtained in the previous year’s final exam.

The location of the placement must be different every year.
