IU Opt CE Pgms Seminars & Workshops

The continuing education courses presented by the IU School of Optometry offer a wide range of educational opportunities for optometrists. These courses are designed to help practitioners fulfill their educational requirements for license renewal.

Course credit hours are listed for each individual day. Courses are to be taken on a full-day basis; no adjustments will be made for partial days. Unless otherwise noted, the courses will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with an hour for lunch. Attendance will be recorded on the ARBO OE Tracker.

Transcript Quality Credit will be available for each course. If participants want this credit, they should make it known when they check in. Transcript Quality exams will be mailed to practitioners who request them, and practitioners should then mail completed exams back to the school. Cost for Transcript Quality Credit is $10 per credit hour.

All courses are submitted for COPE approval.

Attention Indiana-licensed optometrists: The number of IOB continuing education hours required per licensure period is 20. Optometrists maintaining a legend drug certificate must obtain 20 IOB hours and an additional 20 therapeutics/pharmacology (formerly OLDPAC) hours for a total of 40 hours every 2 years. Therapeutics COPE categories are GL, PO, RS, PD, SD, AS, PS, and NO. All categories (including the therapeutics categories) EXCEPT the practice maintenance type courses PM and EJ are acceptable toward IOB credits. (In other states, please check with your state board for specific requirements.)
