The GPLI Clinical Excellence Awards are given to one 4th year student at each School/College of Optometry.
Candidates are students who exhibit enthusiasm for learning more about GP lens designs and materials, desire to improve their fitting skills,
promote GP use as well as recruit patients for this lens modality. The contact lens faculty members at each school determine the award recipients.
Each of these winners was awarded a permanent wooden plaque and a GP diagnostic fitting set.
