WASHINGTON, DC – The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) and the 2018 Assembly Planning Committee have announced the Call for Papers for the AOPA Assembly to be held September 26‐29, 2018 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Practitioners and health professionals, researchers, technicians and business managers have an opportunity to advance their careers, improve patient care, and gain international recognition with high-quality education presentations at the AOPA Assembly.
“Every year, the education program gets stronger and our attendees benefit from the expertise of a diverse group of presenters. We have always been known for our high quality business education, but we have such outstanding clinical and technical programs that this is a show that has it all. Presenting at the AOPA Assembly is a great way to share your work and gain recognition while contributing to the profession” said Traci Dralle, Co-Chair of the 2018 Assembly Planning Committee.
The Committee is accepting abstracts for Clinical Free Papers, the Technician Program, Business Education Program, Symposia, and Pedorthic Program. AOPA has a list of topics of special interest, including upper limb prosthetics, plagiocephaly, osseointegration, public health topics, CAD/CAM, alternative payment methods, and more. The submission deadline for all submissions is March 1, 2018.
Interested presenters can learn more on AOPA’s website.
