Hello All.
I was invited to speak at the upcoming annual meeting for the Aguascalientes/Jalisco regional meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I asked if other Americans might be invited to attend and was told that would be fine. The meeting will be mostly in English as I'm responsible for 14 1/2 hours of the program.
My name is Kevin Matthews and some of you may have seen my AFO video from a couple months ago. It was also watched by a prosthetist/orthotist in Mexico. He liked it and invited me to teach my design at his regional O&P meeting, his treat. I said I'd be honored and told him I've taught for several years at our Texas meetings and it sounded like fun! What started out as a single class ended up with me teaching for 3 days.
The meeting will be Nov. 16-18. Day one I'll teach pediatric AFO's and tone reducing modifications, 5 hours with lab. Day 2 is my Turbo design, 5 hours with lab. Day three is KAFO fabrication, 4 1/2 hours with lab. I have taught many ABC/BOC accredited classes in the past and if enough of you are interested I'll apply for credits. The classes will be in english and my friend George Yniguez, CO, will translate. It should be fun. I am told we'll have a lab with everything we need for fab.
If interested you will need to act fast because you will need a passport to travel. Please respond to this E-mail if interested. Cost will be approx. $400. I have no financial interest in this meeting.
