For details on FORAC Credential Assessment Services please click here<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Beginning January 1, 2021, the credential assessment process is being updated to better reflect the current Canadian Optometry curriculum and Canadian Optometry scope of practice. This may affect applicants who attend institutions that reside in jurisdictions in which Optometrists are not able to independently prescribe drugs without additional graduate education.<\/strong> If you are currently completing a program outside of Canada and the United States and plan on applying to FORAC in the future, please make sure to look into additional education\/training in ocular health and therapeutics in your institution’s jurisdiction.
