What is a COPE Course Reviewer? How Do I Become One?
A COPE Course Reviewer is a state board-endorsed optometrist who has volunteered with COPE to review courses for qualification. Reviewers serve indefinitely and are not compensated for their service. Reviewers are required to examine in detail course materials that are submitted to COPE, determine if it is in compliance with the Criteria for Course Qualification, and, where necessary, provide appropriate guidance for modification or adjustment. Reviewers typically process about 15-20 courses a year. If you are interested in serving as a COPE Course Reviewer, send an e-mail to arbo@arbo.org with your name and address and we will send you an application. Once your application is received by COPE, your name will be forwarded to your state board of optometry for consideration. Once your state board has endorsed your application, you may begin service as a COPE Course Reviewer.
