Continuing Education with BC Doctors of Optometry
Continuing Education (CE) is a crucial aspect of professional development for optometrists. At BC Doctors of Optometry (BCDO), we are committed to providing our members with top-tier CE opportunities to ensure they stay at the forefront of their field.
The Importance of Continuing Education
Optometric CE is the primary method used by regulatory boards to ensure that licensed optometrists maintain and enhance their professional competence. Accreditation criteria for CE programs are designed to foster improvements in optometrists’ competence, performance, and patient outcomes. These programs offer teaching strategies that help translate new knowledge into actionable practice. CE credits are provided through the Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry (ARBO).
