Yes indeed. I am proud to say that of three employees at the ODC, all three are CRA's, two are COMT's, 2 are CDOS ( 32 in USA!) and 2 are ROUB ( 124 in USA) And my lead tech is a Russian Ophthalmologist. You might say we take certification seriously What's missing? The OCT-C, of which I will pass on, but encourage my staff to do. D.
