AOA’s President on the Scope of Optometric Practice

Christopher Quinn, OD, as interviewed by Ranna Jaraha

The American Optometric Association (AOA), which houses one of optometry’s leading advocacy groups, faces a unique problem: it must advocate for ODs on a national scale but must win initiatives on a state-by-state basis. In this installment of “CE on Location,” EyewireTV anchor Ranna Jaraha sits down with Christopher Quinn, OD, the President of the AOA, to discuss the organization’s views on scope of practice and to detail the arguments it makes to state governments that have not granted optometrists expanded practice rights.
