OPGA is pleased and excited to announce the long-awaited MAS Advanced Course
to be held in Marlo's hometown of Guadaljara, MX. The course will be held
next year on February 15-17, 2006. As you can see from the agenda below,
Marlo will be casting, modifying, and fitting a hip disartiulation patient
and then presenting several other difficult case studies such as knee
disarticulations, bilaterals, pediatric fittings and more. There will also
be a significant amount of time devoted to trouble shooting with the MAS
socket design. We are also encouraging attendees to submit any unusual case
studies themselves and if time permits, we will have short case studies on
those patients as well. Only those clinicians that have previously taken
the MAS socket design seminar should register.
Amongst all the outstanding education, Marlo has promised to throw a truly
fantastic Mexican Party that will not and should not be forgotten!
Please note that attendance will be limited and we will accept registrations
on a first-come, first-serve basis. We are asking that all registrations
are received prior to September 15, 2005 so we can make the appropriate
hotel and golf reservations. Attendees should be able to fly in on the 15th
early and then leave either late on the 17th or if you like to stay and
golf, departure should be on the 18th.
If you have questions or would like a registration form, please reply by
email or give Kelly a call at 800-214-6742.
