Examiners
Examiners for the American Board of Ophthalmology are diplomates selected by the ABO to examine at the oral examination, item writers for the written examination and as special committee members in the development of examination materials.
Examiners are selected based on a strict ABO evaluation and their strong commitment to providing quality ophthalmic care.
The Board sincerely thanks its 2009 Examiners and Item Writing Committees for their commitment and dedication. The ABO is grateful to the many current Examiners who assist in the examination process and who do so without
compensation. The costs associated with preparing and administering a national standardized examination
are high. For many years, to help off set these costs, the ABO has been the recipient of an extraordinary act of
beneficence by hundreds of ophthalmologists throughout the country. Without this voluntary participation, the
candidates’ expenses would be considerably higher. In recognition of their contribution to the ABO’s mission
to maintain the highest quality of ophthalmic care, the ABO would like to recognize and thank those who
served as Examiners in 2009. The Board would also like to specially recognize those examiners who have shown
unwavering commitment to the ABO by examining at more than 15 exams.
