Plan Your Year with the WOA

Continuing education is essential for the re-licensure of Wisconsin's healthcare providers, including doctors of optometry, and plays a key role in ensuring the highest standard of care for Wisconsin residents. Optometrists in Wisconsin must complete 30 credit hours of continuing education every two years.

The WOA is dedicated to offering up-to-date, affordable educational opportunities, with events scheduled throughout the year in varying lengths to accommodate our members' busy schedules. Our events feature expert speakers addressing the most relevant and emerging topics in the optometry field.
