Part-Time Membership 

A licensed optometrist may apply for Part-Time Membership by agreeing to restrict his or her practice to not more than 75 working days in the year in any jurisdiction.  The AAO professional dues for part-time members are as follows:

(1) Less than 25 years in practice in Alberta = %50 of AAO/CAO dues and levies

(2) More than 25 years in practice in Alberta = 33% of AAO/CAO applicable dues and 50% of AAO/CAO applicable levies

It should be noted that a working day is defined as any optometric activity in any given day (e.g. 75 half days would constitute 75 working days).
