It used to be that work anniversaries were typically celebrated on milestone years. After 10 years on the job, a loyal employee might receive a plaque commending them for their years of service.

Emilie Seitz Gets a Head Start on Engaging With the Industry Through ‘EyeSeitz’

Emilie Seitz is a third-year optometry student attending the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University. She knew she wanted to be in the health care field from a young age but felt that some areas of medicine didn’t give practitioners enough opportunity to build real relationships with patients. “I realized early on that what I wanted out of my career went even deeper than ‘chair time.’ I wanted the ability grow and experience the twist and turns of life alongside my patients.
