A certificate of completion is earned upon passing the short end-of-course quiz; however, this should not be confused with becoming a certified medical laser safety officer (CMLSO), which can only be achieved through the Board of Laser Safety. To become a CMLSO, you must meet specific requirements and pass a comprehensive certification examination that is intended to promote professional advancement. This certification exam is given by the Board of Laser Safety (BLS).
