Black EyeCare Perspective PreOptometry Club (BEPPOC)
BEPPOC is the first nationally recognized pre-optometry club. It was established to ensure that no aspiring future optometrist is ignored, discouraged, or disadvantaged. The program is open to students interested in pursuing careers in eye care and provides mentorship, guidance, and educational resources to support their journey. Students can complete a member profile to be connected with an advisor for personalized support.
BEPPOC Testimonials
BEPPOC has implemented a source of support and motivation during my journey towards an OD. I am so grateful to have the experience to learn from successful professionals within the optometric field.
Dr. Lauren King
BEPPOC AlumniI'm sincerely grateful to BEPPOC for being a fountain of knowledge as I matriculate into optometry school. They deeply care about my prosperity as a program candidate providing preparation for the OAT, grant opportunities, interview and resume tips, and the much needed vote of confidence. If not for their resources, I would have struggled greatly as a non-traditional student."
