    JCAHPO's Code of Ethics requires certified individuals to report fraudulent use of credentials to protect the integrity of certification.

  2. Which of the following best explains why JCAHPO requires recertification rather than one-time lifetime certification?

    Answer: To ensure certified personnel stay current with evolving ophthalmic technology and standards

  3. JCAHPO's examination blueprint for the COT is based primarily on:
