A walk down memory lane: NGO's top content
We couldn’t have done this without you—our authors, readers, and supporters. Thank you for five years of success and cheers to the next five 🍾
Our brand name has changed, but our focus on new graduate optometrists is even stronger!
Over the past five years, we operated NewGradOptometry (NGO) and CovalentCareers as two separate brands. It eventually became clear that their goals were the exact same: to help eyecare professionals find happiness in their careers.
NGO was built on a buggy Wordpress platform but the CovalentCareers website is completely custom. This means there is no limit to what our engineers can build to improve the user experience.
NGO was limited to content only, but CovalentCareers is jam-packed with tools and features like our jobs platform, online courses, salary calculator, and more coming soon . . . *wink* mobile app.
NGO focused exclusively on new grad ODs but CovalentCareers allows us to also support new ophthalmologists, opticians, and technicians with helpful resources.
NGO was holding us back from providing our new grad optometrists with the maximum amount of features and value. With the brands now merged, we can open the feature flood gates!
We look forward to increasing our readership, membership, and publishing volume in 2020 and beyond to offer new graduate optometrists more industry-leading content.

Nope! CovalentCareers is the parent company of NewGradOptometry. NewGradOptometry’s founder, Dr. Matt Geller, OD, co-founded CovalentCareers in 2015 as a platform for healthcare professionals to build their careers. In essence, this is just a brand consolidation to make things more streamlined for readers and members.
Nope! The CovalentCareers and NewGradOptometry teams have been and will remain the same. We’re a fast-growing team of 17 located in sunny San Diego, CA and dedicated to the career success of today’s eyecare and allied health professionals. Many of you have worked with Matt and/or Antonio and they’re still right here!
All articles, content, and author bios have been migrated from the NewGradOptometry website to CovalentCareers. You can find them in the resources section of CovalentCareers. Just do a quick search. Your author profile also stayed the same but if you’d like to edit it, let us know via the contact form.
Also, if you’d like to write a piece, we’d love to hear from you! Just fill out our writer inquiry form.
Unfortunately, no. But, to be honest, our NewGradOptometry account infrastructure had become outdated and we weren’t able to provide much value to those with accounts. That’s one of the big reasons for this change! You can create a profile on CovalentCareers to monitor courses, track job (or hiring) activity, and more.
Nothing will change! You can expect to receive the same exact emails you have been receiving.
Nope! All emails will remain the exact same.
