O&P LISTSERVE:

The Advance Training Series is the Academy's latest education offering
debuting in September. The idea is to offer short, highly intensive,
practical sessions over a two, three, or four day period depending on
the subject matter.

The first program will be on --------- Overview of Gait Analysis for
Prosthetists and Orthotists -------- and presented in partnership with
Northwestern University Prosthetic Orthotic Center SEPTEMBER 27-29 in
Chicago. Future short courses will cover other pertinent O&P skills
and be limited to about 30 practitioners.

Frank Bostock, CO, FAAOP, John Michael, CPO, FAAOP, FISPO, and Dudley
Childress, PhD developed the concept of the Advanced Training Courses.
Bostock described the course concept as one where in general
practitioners can expect to leave with a skill they can use when they
complete the intensive training.

Other notable members of the faculty besides Childress include
Steven Gard, PhD,
Stefania Fatone, PhD (Australia),
Margrit-Regula Meier, PhD, CPO (Switzerland),
Rebecca Stine, MS,
Mark Edwards, MS, CP,
and Bryan Malas, CO.

Registration (by August 28) is $995 for Academy members, $1095
nonmembers and includes a Gait Analysis text by Dr. Perry plus breakfast
and lunch each day. More information about the Advanced Training Series
can be found on the Academy website at www.oandp.org.
