OPGA has finalized the 2006 MAS Seminar schedule. If you would like to
attend any of the following seminars, contact Kelly at 800-214-6742.
 
February 15-17 Advanced MAS Seminar - Radisson Hotel & Suites, Chicago,
IL
March 18-19 Northwestern University O&P Center, Chicago, IL - This
one is almost full, so register asap if interested
April 14-15 University of Michigan O&P, Ann Arbor, MI
June 10-11 Georgia Tech University
July 8-9 Northwestern University O&P Center, Chicago, IL
 
OPGA has hosted 19 seminars thus far and has trained over 400 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 are 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 2-3 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 by Marlo Ortiz from Guadalajara, MX. To read more
about the socket design, read a recent article in the O&P Edge at:
