Dear Mr. Hoxie - Thank you for mirroring and amplifying what I said. Let me add
that I feel
certification certainly IS valuable, as an adjunct to the much needed expansion
of other programs of preparation, notably residency requirements of extended
work under the eye of a master to ensure the TALENT and preparation of the
entrant. I see the push for certification itself as a red herring drawing
attention away from necessary correction of deficits in the preparation for
talented performance (competence) in prosthetics. George B.
