Re: Masters in L.E. Orthotics

Dear Jan:
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the American
Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists has begun doing just what you suggest.
Last fall with help of the Directors of our University Educational Programs
we began the process of presenting their needs to the appropriate Government
Agency's and to Congress. It is our hope that we can raise around 1.5 million
dollars for our University programs.
Additionally, we are lobbying for funding for a series of consensus
conferences and for the establishment of an applied research fund. This three
phased initiative has been named PROJECT QUANTUM LEAP and more extensive
details can be found on our web page. Nothing of this nature has been
undertaken before by the Academy, but we feel strongly that with the help and
support of our members we can't fail.
In fact the support for the project from the membership has been great.
Both in terms of the Congressional letter writing program that we are in the
midst of (see web site) and in terms of funds donated to defray the costs of
the program.
I would encourage you to look into this program and get involved in
this important educational initiative.
Best Regards,
Tom DiBello CO
