\"why
Dr. Sukaromya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It took a personal invitation from a colleague to bring Sarvitree Sukaromya, OD<\/strong>, of Kansas City, Missouri, to a town hall for the Missouri Optometric Association<\/a> (MOA). As she listened to what the association was planning, she had a moment of recognition that she needed to be involved. That feeling coincided with her desire to do more than patient care \u2013 which is still important to her in her corporate-affiliated practice. But she was looking for an opportunity to give back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI emailed LeeAnn Barrett, OD<\/strong>, MOA executive director, to see how I could put my skills to work to help the organization,\u201d she says. Dr. Barrett told her the board was considering a part-time communications coordinator position that Dr. Sukaromya would align with perfectly. One of the main elements of that role is to help maintain membership and make sure that doctors have a feeling of belonging, knowing that their voices are being heard.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sukaromya has been in the role a little over a month now, so she is still learning what resources are available to doctors and members, but she\u2019s already realizing she should have made the jump into supporting organized optometry sooner. \u201cWe have broad scope with oral and therapeutics and comprehensive exams for kindergarteners, but we still need to fight to retain what we have and possibly expand.\u201d<\/p>\n

MAKE IT A PRIORITY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

She hears from ODs who haven\u2019t yet joined their professional organizations, and the reasons sound familiar.\u00a0 \u201cI know why I didn\u2019t join earlier. I had a young child, I was establishing myself in the community and I was busy,\u201d she says. Furthermore, as a corporate-affiliated OD, she wasn\u2019t entirely sure that organized optometry had a place for her.<\/p>\n

Now, she knows differently and can address it. She attended the American Optometric Association (AOA) Leadership Institute 2.0 recently and sat at a table with doctors from academia, private practice, corporate practice and consulting. \u201cThe idea really was to bring everyone together. No matter what our mode of practice, we have valid experiences and thoughts we can share.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her own practice setting, she refers to colleagues who have the equipment and technology to treat or monitor patients whom she cannot monitor adequately. \u201cEven so, I want to enable every OD to practice to the full scope of their license if they want to do so. I\u2019m rooting for my colleagues in rural communities because their patients do not have a specialist nearby. I\u2019m rooting for my colleagues down the street who can monitor my patients, if I cannot,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

SIGHT SET ON OD CAREER<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When she was young, Dr. Sukaromya volunteered at the local hospital where her mother worked at as a nurse. \u201cI always knew I wanted to be in a profession to help people. Being a first generation Asian-American, my parents wanted my siblings and me to aspire to become doctors and lawyers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Her parents influenced her and their stories motivated her. \u201cThey ate rice and salty fish with their bare hands and came to America with $200 in their pocket for better opportunities. I learned to appreciate their efforts to provide for the family,\u201d she says. After she graduated from college, she worked at an optical retail location and realized that optometry would be a great career. \u201cAs an optician, I dispensed eyeglasses to customers, and they would have this elated expression on their faces when they put on their glasses for the first time. It was contagious. I wanted to be a part of making that happen,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She shadowed an OD, went to optometry school, worked as an associate in a private practice but ultimately chose a corporate-affiliated location because it allowed her to be more involved with her patients.<\/p>\n

DON’T TAKE SCOPE FOR GRANTED<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Even so, she wasn\u2019t sure where joining the AOA or MOA fit into her priority list. \u201cReflecting back, I should have put more emphasis on being a member of my state association and the AOA. With optometry being a very heavily legislative profession, at any moment, the scope I am accustomed to practicing can be challenged by the opposition. I took for granted what the previous doctors of optometry fought so hard to have passed in legislation. To be able to use therapeutics drops, diagnostic drops, prescribe topical and oral medications, to ensure that every child enrolling in kindergarten or first grade is required to be seen for a comprehensive eye examination are wins for optometry. By supporting the AOA and state associations, members are doing everything we can to advance our profession on behalf of our patients and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
