Washington State Optometrists
Attenders & Presenters Group
A peer community of optometrists presenting and attending continuing education lectures — built for a time when in-person C.E. is hard to come by.
Our Mission
Continuing Education, By Optometrists, For Optometrists
The A&P Group is for the presentation of low or no-cost synchronous in-person continuing education to optometrists, with each A&P member, on a rotating schedule, presenting the CE to the group.
Washington requires 10 hours of synchronous in-person CE every two-year renewal period, but in-person CE is rare in the Tri-Cities. The A&P Group exists to fill that gap — collegial, peer-led, and intentionally small. Presenters earn 3 hours of Category 3 CE per hour taught (WAC 246-851-150); attenders earn 1 hour per hour of attendance.
Peer-Led Lectures
Every presenter is a practicing optometrist sharing real-world clinical knowledge from their own subspecialty.
Flexible Format
Sessions are organized to fit busy practice schedules, with both live and remote participation options.
A Trusted Circle
A small, invitation-based community where questions, opinions, and discussion are part of every lecture.
Founded with intention.
Tri-Cities A&P Group was founded by Alan Homestead, O.D. to give Washington state optometrists a dependable forum for peer-led continuing education.
