They aren’t included in the ACM because the SREB has a separate program, called the Regional Contract Program (RCP), for selected first professional degree programs in schools of dentistry, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, and veterinary medicine. North Carolina participates in the RCP for the study of optometry. To learn more about the program, call the College Foundation of North Carolina, toll-free, at 866-866-CFNC or, to complete the residency application, visit CFNC.org/optometry.
