The American Board of Optometry’s board certification program has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies for a 5-year period, according to a board press release.

The ABO received National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) accreditation by demonstrating compliance with the NCCA’s rigorous Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. The NCCA Standards are comprehensive and cover all aspects of the certification program, including administration, assessment development and recertification.

NCCA uses a peer-review process to establish accreditation standards, evaluate compliance with these standards, recognize programs that demonstrate compliance and serve as a resource on quality certification.

“Receiving NCCA accreditation is another significant step in assuring credibility of the ABO,” Paul C. Ajamian, OD, ABO chairman of the board, said in the press release. “We will continue to pursue such measures to advance our process and our profession.”
