I am pleased to announce that OPGA has finalized the 2007 MAS Seminar
schedule. Since September of 2004, OPGA has hosted 26 MAS seminars and
qualified nearly 600 prosthetists across the world in this innovative socket
design that has received rave reviews from both patients and prosthetists.
There have been several improvements in the socket design and the seminar
itself, so even if you have already attended, a refresher course should
help. A discount on the registration fee is available for all previous MAS
attendees.
January 13-14 Aliso Viejo, CA - Cal State University Dominguez Hills
March 10-11 Dallas, TX - Texas Scottish Rite Hospital (Tentative date)
May 10-11 Atlanta, GA - Georgia Institute of Technology
September 6-7 Holbrook, NY - Hutnick Rehab (in conjunction with NYSAAOP)
October 13-14 Chicago, IL - Northwestern University Prosthetic & Orthotic
Center
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 is
encouraged to 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:
