As soon as POA receives notice that you have received a Pennsylvania license, you will immediately be granted free membership in POA, AOA and a local society for the remainder of that calendar year. In order to continue that membership into the next calendar year, you’ll need to return the Data Form enclosed with the initial mailing you’ll receive.

POA has developed a Resource Guide for New Optometrists to assist new licensees practicing in Pennsylvania. It is provided to graduating students at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and is available to download. While specifically directed at Pennsylvania practitioners, the information may be helpful to new licensees in other state by giving direction and cues to basic needs.

Please refer to the Join POA section for applications and information on the sliding dues scale.
