| Comments: The total for 3 years of 91 OPD points is just more than the required 30 OPD points per year. However, during the next year the person is going to have to earn 68 points to make up for the two lean years in which they only gained 13 and 21 points. The minimum of 10 points a year in IQA-based activities is exceeded. | |||
