As of January 2023, COPE will include interactive webinars in the same category as in-person lectures, with no post-test required. CE will be categorized as either Synchronous (lecturer and learner are together at the same time, either in-person or virtually, with real-time communication) or Asynchronous (lecturer and learner are not together at same time, no real-time communication). Interactive webinars will be labeled Synchronous Virtual CE for courses and activities submitted after January 1 (interactive webinars approved before January 1 may still be labeled Online Interactive courses or Interactive Distance Learning events).

At their December 15, 2021 meeting, the Massachusetts Board of Optometry specified that a live webinar where speakers and attendees can interact in real-time are considered to be live CE. The Board clarified that distance learning CE courses, which are limited to 6 hours per renewal cycle, are those where the licensees are reading content or observing media on their own with no interaction with the instructor. Thus, the COPE-approved interactive NGS webinars count as live CE for MA optometrists.CE BROKER FOR TEXAS OPTOMETRISTS
