Who are AOA Approved Providers?
Providers of continuing education, not courses or speakers, are approved. The provider of a continuing education program is the organization assuming the responsibility for organizing, administering, publicizing and presenting the program. Schools and colleges of optometry, state optometric boards and state optometric associates are among the list of AOA approved providers. A copy of the approved provider list will be sent to all optometrists upon their enrollment in the ORA program. The ORA Program reserves the right to evaluate all credits claimed by participants and to disallow credits, at its discretion, to those who do not fulfill the criteria, as herein described. Participants will be notified in all cases where there is a need for clarification of credits or if disqualified for any reason.
