The Written Qualifying Examination (WQE) is the first of two evaluations in the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) certification process. Administered in person only at computerized testing centers nationwide, the WQE is designed to evaluate the breadth and depth of the basic science and clinical knowledge candidates acquired during training. The next WQE will be administered on Saturday, September 21, 2024 in an approximately five-hour testing period that includes a tutorial and break time.
Once the WQE is successfully completed, candidates will be invited to register for the Oral Examination, the second and final assessment of the certification process.
Note: These policies are subject to change without notice at the discretion of the American Board of Ophthalmology.
