About five days ago, I suggested that the Academy break all ties with ABC and work on uniting ABC and BOC certified practitioners under one umbrella. Remember, this entire situation is about us as certified professionals. The ones who will truly suffer in the long run are our patients that we all care about. Again, there are many people that could help promote this unity within the Academy setting, and we need those people to push this idea forward. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS; patients have emailed asking for us to solve this mess once and for all. ABC has tried to make this into the downfall of BOC as an organization without saying it. If you read the ABC updates, they have no problems overlooking the bylaws concerning passing the exams to be certified. If ABC and BOC truly want to unite, they will support AAOP in unification efforts and promote state licensure through national meetings. This it seems is the only true way to protect our profession and prevent encroachm!
 ent. Also, the large O&P corporations need to support this effort as well.
Thank you
