BOCA RATON, Fla.: Specialty-specific healthcare technology leader, ModMed®, is investing in the future of eye care by providing access to its cutting-edge, ophthalmology-focused electronic health records (EHR) system to three Illinois community colleges: Elgin Community College, College of Dupage and Triton Community College, through charitable donations of a “sandbox” EHR learning environment. This initiative directly addresses the growing demand for skilled ophthalmic technicians by equipping students with essential, hands-on experience in a real-world setting. This collaboration reflects ModMed’s commitment to social responsibility and workforce development by equipping students with the hands-on training needed to succeed in modern healthcare environments.
Through this initiative, ModMed supports more than 50 students annually in Certified Ophthalmic Technician (COT) and Certified Ophthalmic Assistant (COA) programs. The integration of ModMed’s EHR into these programs provides students with real-world experience in patient documentation, specialty workflows and technology management — key skills for in-demand careers in ophthalmology.
“ModMed has created a practical way for our students to access tools that weren’t available to them before,” said Mitzi Thomas, COMT, Assistant Professor and Chair at College of Dupage. “This partnership sets our students up for success in a competitive field.”
Colleges and Program Highlights
“At ModMed, we believe in empowering the next generation of healthcare professionals with the tools they need to thrive,” said Dr. Michael Rivers, Senior Director of Ophthalmology at ModMed. “Our initiative with these community colleges reflects our dedication to social responsibility and fostering workforce readiness in the healthcare sector.”
