Hello again List Serv members.

I was just informed by Kelly that our MAS course at CSUDH in Dominguez
Hills is nearly full. If you are interested in signing up, please contact
our office at your earliest convenience. This will be the last course
offered prior to the Advanced course in Guadalajara in February. You must
attend a qualifying course in order to attend the Advanced Course.

> OPGA will be hosting two new MAS seminars for the first half of 2006. The
> first will held on January 14-15, 2006 at Cal State University Dominguez
> Hills in Aliso Viejo, CA. The second will be held on March 18-19 at
> Northwestern University Prosthetic Orthotic Center in Chicago, IL.
> OPGA has hosted 15 seminars thus far and has trained approximately 350
> clinicians in this new and innovative socket design. The seminars tend to
> fill up quickly and attendance is limited, so if you are interested,
> please contact OPGA right away.
> Two tiers of learning will be offered at the seminars:
>
> * Tier I - Hands-On - Full two-day seminar, which includes patient
> evaluation with casting, modifications, and two test sockets. Attendee
> must provide own patient model and his/her travel arrangements
>
> * Tier II - Observation - Full two-day seminar that includes all course
> materials, observation of patient evaluation, but no hands-on
> participation. There will be 2 observers teamed up with each hands-on
> attendee who will assist in all aspects of the casting, modifying and
> fitting of the test sockets.
>
> For those not familiar with the M.A.S. socket design, it is a
> revolutionary new socket design created and patented by Marlo Ortiz from
> Guadalajara, MX. To read more about the socket design, read a recent
> article in the O&P Edge at:
