CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) has announced the opening of a new National Center of Clinical Testing in Optometry. Located in Charlotte, the new facility will serve as a hub for thousands of students from optometry schools across North America as they pursue licensure. The center will host candidates for several exams, including the Part III Patient Encounters and Performance Skills (PEPS) exam, in which candidates demonstrate their case analysis and critical thinking ability in a simulated-live patient encounter, as well as the Injections Skill Examination (ISE) and the Laser and Surgical Procedures Examination (LSPE).
