MEET JACQUELINE PULLOS, COMT, OSC, CTC, (F)ATPO

Jacque began her ophthalmology career in 1987.

When the administrator of a vocational college wisely steered her away from the dental assisting program and into the ophthalmic assisting program, she never looked back! 

Jacqueline has specialized training in Lean Six Sigma, wherein she helps practices maximize their productivity. She is also a certified corporate trainer and does clinical training.

Over the years, Jacque has worked in comprehensive ophthalmology as well as several sub-specialties including retina, uveitis, cornea, and glaucoma.  However, training and education are Jacque’s primary passions and in 2012, she transitioned from a clinical ophthalmic technician to a full-time technician educator.  She revels in the successes of each technician she works with and has been thrilled to see some of them become excellent trainers, themselves! 

In addition to training technicians in the clinic, Jacque has enjoyed teaching didactic courses and workshops at regional and national AAOP, ATPO, and IJCAHPO events. She has also developed and directed several local continuing education events for allied ophthalmic personnel in Salt Lake City.    

Volunteerism is another passion of Jacque’s, and she has been grateful to have had the opportunity to combine her passions in her community as well as abroad.  Jacque has had the privilege of training local ophthalmic staff in several countries with Moran Global Outreach and Orbis International and believes this important work is essential to creating sustainable eye care across the globe.

Jacque also holds a certification in corporate training (CTC), and is a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt with the goal to achieve a Black Belt. Jacque has dedicated herself to clinical training for over 20 years. 

Jacque is a past president and fellow of the former Association of Technical Personnel in Ophthalmology (ATPO). She is a current member of the American Academy of Ophthalmic Professionals (AAOP).

Jacqueline is based in Salt Lake City, UT.

In addition to training technicians in the clinic, Jacque has enjoyed teaching didactic courses and workshops at regional and national ATPO and IJCAHPO events."
