I am ABO eligible in ophthalmology.  I may wish to seek AAPS certification but my residency program no longer exists.  My program was accredited and in the US.  I am planning to apply for licensure in Texas and will need a completed certificate within 10 years and Texas accepts the AAPS credential.  Can you please comment on the steps and documentation that I would need to produce in order to complete an application with you and sit for an exam?  I have already reviewed your web site and have many questions that would perhaps pertain to me.  It certainly looks like I would not be able to complete a November 2011 written exam based on the time schedule given.  Thank you for this assistance.
