Dr. Rachel Brackley Named Director of Externships at PCO/Salus
For the past five years, Rachel Brackley, OD ‘09, Resident ‘10, FAAO, has been working as the externship liaison to the Accelerated Scholars program at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University, assisting the 12 to 14 students in that specialized program.
So, when Satya Verma, OD ‘75, FAAO, DPNAP, Diplomate — the longtime director of the Externship program retired at the end of 2021 after 50 years with the University — Dr. Brackley was ready to step into those big shoes. “It’s a privilege to be given the opportunity to have influence over that part of their education because it’s an invaluable part of their educational experience and it really is also step in molding them into my colleagues,” she said.
