ARBO OE Tracker Number – please include your ARBO OE tracker number on your registration form or verify it is accurate if registering on-line. This number is designed to track all optometrists’ continuing education activity in one central database. Any licensed optometrist may go to www.arbo.org to obtain his/her OE Tracker number. OE Tracker numbers are not required to register for Optometry’s Meeting™.
Calculate the base registration fee due for each category, as appropriate, on the registration form.
