UPCOMING OAL EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCES
![]() "Attending the Optometry Association of Louisiana's meeting has been nothing less than amazing. The atmosphere is always full of educational excitement, professional development, and there is never a lack of family style fellowship. The OAL leadership is focused on everyone within the profession, the O.D., the ophthalmic staff, and the vendors who support the industry. The atmosphere is inviting to everyone that attends, so you don't want to miss this meeting....it offers the total Optometric experience!" -----Lynn Lawrence, CPOT, ABOC, COA (Professional Motivation & Lecturing Services) Navarre, Florida |
All CE courses will be submitted for posting to your OE Tracker & Louisiana State Board of Optometry Examiners profiles, yet will be listed as NON COPE, even though a course may have COPE approval. This is because the OAL does not currently participate in COPE approved events. If you are applying for re-licensure in other states, it is your responsibility to verify that these OAL / AOA approved CE hours (which will all be listed as NON COPE) will count toward your re-licensure.
