All optometry schools and colleges in Canada and the United States must successfully complete certification requirements set by the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) on a regular basis. In addition to these rigorous Doctor of Optometry program requirements, ASCO also develops entry-level and advanced-level competencies for a variety of optometric specialty areas and residency programs.
