At present, AOPA requires that each of its patient care company members
have an ABC certifee. Affiliate members (affiliates of the company member)
do not have to have a certifee. However, in order to be an ABC accredited
facility an ABC certifee, in the relevant discipline must either deliver
the care or the care must be delivered under his direction. At the moment
approximately 50% of the AOPA company and affiliate members are ABC
accredited.
Under the new organization, the bylaws currently state that an active
company member must have an ABC certifee, in good standing. In addition,
only ABC accredited active company members will have the right to vote on
ABC affairs (election of directors and changes to the bylaws related to
ABC).

Subject: More Consolidation comments and questions
I have two questions that come to mind as I read all of the discussion
on this list serve.
Does AOPA require that all of it's patient care facility members have
ABC certified pracitioners on staff?
Depending on the answer to the above question, would this policy
change in the proposed consolidated National Office?
Just trying to become more informed.
Thanks
