Barbara, Allen, Ditte, Cynthia, and James
Thank you all :)
I was hoping that it was credited! I'm close to re-certify for my COT and I
should be working on having the minimum required credits.
Its a shame that King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) here in Riyadh;
doesn't provide approved JCAHPO A+B credits any more :(
And for some of us here, we are left to the alternative to either get credits
online, or by attending joint OPS/JCAHPO meetings.
If all goes well; I'll be attending the upcoming meeting in New Orleans :)
Again thank you all

Hasan, I followed up with one of the individuals who was on the Oxford ICOP
committee and worked with the CECs. Here is her response about the JCAHPO
CECs: “Anytime we have an ICOP meeting on the North American continent, we
absolutely apply for JCAHPO credits, as we anticipate that there will be a
significant number of our attendees who hold joint certification. There were
JCAHPO credits for ICOP 1994, ICOP 2006, and there will be for our program next
year, ICOP 2014! But there is a charge for application and review of courses
for CECs from JCAHPO, just as there is a charge to outside groups who apply for
OPS CECs. At Oxford, the number of attendees who held JCAHPO certification was
a very small number compared to the overall population of attendees, and the
expense could not be justified. The course had full OPS CECS, but nothing for
JCAHPO. The program for ICOP Toronto, 2014 will be” fully loaded” with both
OPS and JCAHPO credits!” I hope this information helps. Best regards,Barbara
