Description
Optometry as a profession is different in Michigan and across the country. Different
states have very different laws and different qualifications to practice in each respective state. Many people feel there should be much more uniform laws and standards in optometry. Presently the American Board of Optometric Practitioners, ABOP, is envisioned as a way to promote ongoing clinical competency through a distinct level of continuing education and assessment. While ABOP looks at a national certification, optometry should head toward equalizing the entry qualifications among different states.5 An attempt has been made to bring Michigan closer to the majority of other states as far as required tests for licensure. The glaring difference is exam part III ofNBEO. This creates difficulty in multiple state licensure, and redundancy of examinations for licensure by newly licensed optometrists. A presentation was devised through careful research, surveying of newly licensed optometrists, and logical opinion. This presentation was three fold and was designed to benefit future optometrists interested in Michigan licensure, multiple state licensure, or undecided optometrists considering Michigan. The presentation was intended not to make things easier for graduating optometry students, however to make for logical conveniences and bring Michigan up to national levels as compared to other states. This was in no way designed to take authority away from the Michigan licensing board or place the public more in jeopardy from unqualified optometrists. On the contrary, It was felt that national standards would actually raise the Michigan licensed optometrist standard of excellence to a nationally recognized level. |
