How is the standard for competence established?
The establishment of the professional standard of competence expected of candidates is a continuous process involving consensus groups of practicing optometrists. Each year, CEO brings together and solicits input from numerous optometrists from all regions in updating the standards for competence and the assessment tool. No single individual or elite group makes these determinations, but instead the entire profession is involved by representation.
