"Ultimately Patients Suffer" "Delay in Care, Healthcare Redundancy, Reduced Access to Care" Without Scope Advancement - Dr. Cedrick Mah

The 20/20 Podcast

Dr. Cedrick Mah graduated from Waterloo in 2022. He then completed his residency in Oklahoma. Cedrick is a Fellow of the American Association of Optometry, a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry, and newly crowned Young Optometrist of the Year by the BC Doctors of Optometry.

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Mah's experiences practicing to the fullest scope within optometry. Through his recent training and experience, Cedrick has been able to prescribe medications, order blood tests, and perform various advanced procedures for many patients. Coming back to Vancouver,

the discrepancy in scope is abundantly clear.

From reducing wait times to reducing healthcare costs and redundancies, Dr. Mah shares why and how advancing scope will benefit our profession and, most importantly, benefit our patients.

Big thanks to the BCDO for giving us the space to record these interviews during the annual conference in May 2025.

Stay tuned for more of these short episodes on scope optimization on The 20/20 podcast. We will be sharing thoughts from optometrists from across Canada who have varied and extensive experience in the matter of scope optimization.

Let's all get on board and help our profession continue to grow!
