When may a certificate of registration be issued to an out-of-state licensed OD?

A certificate of registration can be issued to an out-of-state licensed optometrist when they are a full-time faculty member at a college of optometry and meet additional requirements set by California law. This provision facilitates the engagement of qualified optometrists in the education and training of future practitioners, ensuring that the faculty can provide valuable expertise and experience to students. The additional requirements typically include maintaining good standing with their home state license and possibly meeting specific continuing education or ethical standards as determined by the California board.

This approach helps enhance the quality of education in optometry programs within California while ensuring that faculty members have credible training and background in optometry practice. The other options do not align with the legal framework and requirements for out-of-state optometrists seeking to practice in California.
