At Graduation, he was recognized for graduating with Honors as well as being accepted into Beta Sigma Kappa the Academic Society for his high merits. He completed his training with several external rotations in different areas of eye care. Dr. Crowder trained in Low Vision at the Broward Lighthouse for the Blind and an externship in Ocular Disease at Broward County Hospital. Dr. Crowder also trained in Vision Therapy at the Nova Eye Care Institute and The Eye Center in Pembroke Pines FL.

After graduation, Dr. Crowder and his wife were excited for the opportunity to return to their hometown of Chattanooga.
