Diplomates in the Section on Cornea, Contact Lenses and Refractive Technologies are required to renew their Diplomate status every five years. New Diplomates who received their Diploma in the third, fourth, or fifth year of the renewal period will be exempt from the renewal process until the next renewal period. During the five year term you need to acquire twenty-five points to successfully renew your Academy Diplomate status. This year the Section Executive Committee has reviewed the renewal process and has implemented changes in the points system. These points are acquired by attending the Annual Meeting of the Academy and attending lectures and/or scientific sessions; presenting lectures, scientific papers or posters; publishing articles, position papers or book chapters; participating in the Diplomate Awards program; or serving on the Section Executive Committee or the AAO Board of Directors.
The points you have acquired at this year’s Annual Meeting of the Academy in Boston should be tabulated and sent to me either by faxing the form or using the email link on the form above. Each of you should be congratulated for maintaining excellence in vision care and promoting the field of Optometry through education.
