Academy Announces New Editor-In-Chief for
Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics (JPO)
ALEXANDRIA, VA -August 2007 -The Academy is pleased to announce the
appointment of David A. Boone, PhD, MPH, CP as its new Editor-In-Chief
of the JPO. Boone has over 20 years of experience as a certified
prosthetist and has been widely published both nationally and
internationally. Mr. Boone will begin his term as Editor-In-Chief of the
JPO in July 2008.
The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists, the only
professional society for orthotists and prosthetists, is dedicated to
promoting professionalism and advancing the standards of patient care
through education, literature, research, advocacy and collaboration. The
Academy has published the JPO for over 30 years.
The JPO is the leading peer reviewed journal in prosthetics and
orthotics. The JPO promotes and disseminates scientific and technical
advances in prosthetics and orthotics as well as developments in
clinical practice, research, education and technology. It is the
premiere forum for O&P research. Its content is applicable to a
multi-disciplinary group of health care professionals. Published
quarterly with a subscription base of over 5,000, the JPO is used as a
standard for education in residency and training programs.
Boone is enthusiastic about the Journal, A journal is an essential
voice and record of any true profession. The JPO will continue to report
the latest thinking in patient care and the best available scientific
evidence to support our fundamental clinical understanding of prosthetic
and orthotic care. The JPO will also continue to seek greater
recognition within the community of medical journals. With that
recognition will come greater understanding and respect for the O&P
profession by other healthcare professions, government and third party
payers.
The Academy is grateful to Jeffrey A. Nemeth, CPO, FAAOP for his efforts
as the current Editor-In-Chief of the JPO. It is clear that during his
term the quality of submissions to the JPO has increased. As outgoing
Editor-in-Chief, I have enjoyed this opportunity to tackle the
challenges facing both the JPO and the prosthetic and orthotic
community. It was a privilege to be selected for this position, and I,
along with my editorial review board, feel proud of the increased
quality of articles presented over the last three years. I know the
level of research will continue to improve under the direction of David
Boone, and I wish him much success in carrying forward with the goals of
the JPO Nemeth stated.
Boone is currently the Director of Research at CYMA Corporation in
Seattle, Washington. The selection of Boone comes after an intensive
year long search. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Academy.
