Dear List,
I have looked over the web site provided by Keith Munroe (
Prosthetics-Orthotics.net) which promotes a practice in Tennessee and Arkansas and, among
other claims, note that this practitioner is licensed virtually in every state of
our country. I wonder what his dues are! I am unable to find his name listed
for licensure in Florida and do not think Tennessee requires a license at
this time. With all due respect to Mr. Spears, I think this is a grandiose
misrepresentation and does not reflect well upon our profession. The web site
should be amended to insure a greater degree of accuracy and the national offices
should be encouraged to look into this issue as a way of keeping our house in
order.
