        Mr. Parks,

        I'm sorry you felt your were receiving double speak from the Academy
regarding obtaining proof of your attending one of our meetings. Please
allow me to explain what we're able to do for you.

        We routinely provide BOC orthotists (and others who attend, such as
CPeds) with documentation that they attended one of our meetings. At the
end of each meeting we provide our attendance records for each workshop and
scientific session to ABC, which maintains the status of continuing
education credits for ABC-certified practitioners. For everyone else we
will, upon request, provide a letter that attests to your registration, the
total number of credits for the meeting and a breakdown of the credits by
session.

        As you may be aware, BOC practitioners in states with licensure are
now eligible for membership in the Academy as Affiliate Members. For those
members we now track their attendance at Academy education sessions (in
greater detail). If you would like more information about becoming a member
of the Academy I would encourage you to visit our website (www.oandp.org) or
give me a call directly at 703-836-0788. I'd be happy to talk to you.

        Ladies and Gentlemen
        Is it just me or are others that live in states that have state
licensure
        having trouble getting some type of formal documentation of there
continuing
        education credits from the Academy? I have requested this several
times in
        the last several months and have only gotten double speak. In
Washington we
        are required to submit some form of documentation to be re-licensed.
It
        seems that this should be a minor thing for an organization who's
primary
        purpose it is to provide continuing education to its members.
        Signed
        Lost and alone in Seattle
