    Optometrists must pursue continuing optometric education (COE) to maintain competency. Participation in the Optometric Recognition Award Program offers a structured path to achieve this, earning recognition from the American Optometric Association (AOA).

    Area of Science:

    • Optometry
    • Continuing Professional Education

    Background:

    • Optometrists have a professional duty to maintain competency.
    • Continuing education is crucial for staying current in optometry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of continuing optometric education.
    • To introduce the Optometric Recognition Award Program as a method for achieving continuing competency.

    Main Methods:

    • The Optometric Recognition Award (ORA) Program allows participants to self-design and record their continuing optometric education.
    • The program requires 150 hours of continuing optometric education over three years.

    Main Results:

    • Successful completion of the ORA Program requirements leads to formal recognition.
