HEY PRACTITIONERS AND FITTERS!
IF YOU NEED CEUs, IT DOESN'T GET QUICKER OR EASIER THAN THIS!!!!!
Last week, we learned from the ABC that continuing education credits (14.5 Credits) are available for clinicians and orthotic fitters at the same level as technicians at the Technician CE Course presented by the O&P Programs at Spokane Falls Community College (SFCC) on Friday, October 16th and Saturday, October 17th. For clinicians, the ABC will view the course as a 'refresher.' Orthotic fitters who attend will be eligible for Category II credits.
Agenda Topics
Keynote Speaker: Curt Bertram, ABC Immediate Past President
Future of the O&P Workforce (Study conducted for NCOPE, April 2015)
* Making Revolimb Work! * 3D Printing in O&P
* Fabrication of the Plastic in Leather AFO * Powder Coating with Thermoclad
* The Benefits of SpectraCarb * Customization of Dynamic Carbon Graphite AFOs
* Chopart Fabrication...Laminations and Variations * How Physics Affects your Layups and Trim Lines
* Fabrication of the New Becker Modular Systems * Fabrication of a Custom 40 Durometer Urethane Partial Foot
* Volcanic Rock Laminations Instead of Carbon Fiber * Crash Course on Inventing and Intellectual Property
* Introduction to Hydrographic Cosmetic Finishes * Modified Fabrication Techniques for Adult and Pediatric Orthotics
Program presenters include: Steve Hill, Jerry Gohman, Alex Brett, Fred Lanier, Keim Bill, Mike Ruch, David Firth, Chad Eberhart, Mike Vanek, Robert Eldridge, Matt Perkins, Ambrose Cavegn, Jackie Valdez, Brad O'Connell!
Registration Fee (includes parking, refreshments and lunch Friday, refreshments on Saturday)
$ 50.00 (Students) Friday & Saturday
S150.00 Friday & Saturday
$100.00 Friday only
$ 60.00 Saturday only
If more than one person from your practice or company is attending the full 1½-day course, the registration fee is reduced by $25 per additional person with a limit of three (3). (For example: if two people attend, the fee for each is $125; for three or more, the fee for each is $100) Fees remain the same for attendance only on Friday or Saturday.
We have negotiated with two hotels that are near the airport and the College to provide rooms at a reduced rate with taxes included. For the Holiday Inn (509-838-1170), the rate is $112.00 per night with a registration deadline date of October 8; for the Hampton Inn (509-747-1100), the rate is $134.00 per night with a registration deadline date of October 1. Staff members at each hotel indicate that October is a busy month and that the rooms will fill quickly. Both hotels are relatively new and in excellent condition and each provide breakfast and Internet services. The Holiday Inn will provide transportation services to and from the hotel to SFCC. There are other hotels nearby the airport and some may offer a lower room rate.
If plans are to stay-over on Saturday evening, the room rates remain the same and need to be reserved when you make your reservation for October 15th and 16th. On both Friday and Saturday evenings, there are hockey games scheduled between the Spokane Chiefs. On Friday, the Chiefs are playing the Prince Albert Raiders and on Saturday they play the Kamloops Blazers.
Please don't hesitate to contact us for a registration form or if more information is needed.
