ABC/BOC merger

WOW , what a disservice ABC has done to there loyal (members ) . I think they should have changed the website over at ABC before they made that announcement , it makes them look quite foolish touting the benefits of their accreditation , stringent education requirements , anatomy and science backgrounds as well as disciplined residency requirements and rigorous examinations . Oh well , so much for that . I'm not saying anything negative about BOC or their requirements it just seems ridiculous for ABC to throw away everything they've stood for for 50 years .I've been a technician in this field for fifteen years and I've seen good and bad from both ABC and BOC practitioners . The one truth is there are undeniable differences between them in anatomy knowledge and the science of O&P . ABC's stringent requirements did make a difference . I can't help but feel a deep concern for where our profession is headed .But I'm a tech. , what do I have to worry about ?
