Regulator or Association – Who Does What?

The Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) is launching a new educational video which will help Opticians across Canada navigate between the organisations they depend on more easily.

This short video shows the difference between provincial regulatory bodies, who are there to protect the public in areas such as standards of practice, ethics and investigating complaints, and associations, which are there to protect and advocate for Licensed Opticians. Indeed, the Opticians Association of Canada includes with its membership personal professional liability insurance coverage and online continuing education for no additional charge.

More educational content on the topic will be available soon.
