TECHNICIANS & NURSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
The International Joint Commission on Allied Health
Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO) is pleased to
sponsor the Technicians & Nurses Program. IJCAHPO is
the international certifying agency for allied ophthalmic
personnel. Certification is available at three levels: assistant,
technician, and medical technologist, along with subspecialty
certifications available for surgical assisting, ultrasound
biometrist, diagnostic sonographer, scribe certification, and
corporate assistant.
Included in the registration fee for the 2-and-a-half day
Clinical and Surgical/ASC program are an additional
two online, on-demand courses. Registrants will receive
information on how to access the complimentary online
courses in May, following the onsite program.
For the Technicians & Nurses Program, attendees do not
register for each course independently. They can choose to
attend individual courses from either of the two sessions
each day. There are no individual tickets sold for courses; an
attendee's badge allows access to any of the courses in this
two-track program.
Handouts
A link to available handouts for the Technicians & Nurses
Program will be provided to registrants by IJCAHPO.
Continuing Education Credit
All courses in the Technicians & Nurses Program have
been approved for IJCAHPO (Group A) credits. Select
courses are approved for CA BRN credit. A maximum of 16
(IJCAHPO Group A) credits are available for this in-person
program. Another two (IJCAHPO Group A) credits are
available on demand to the 2022 registered attendees at no
extra charge.
This program is sponsored by IJCAHPO.
