WASHINGTON, DC – The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA), its international partner organizations, and the 2017 Planning Committee have announced the Call for Papers for the AOPA World Congress to be held September 6‐9, 2017 at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. O&P practitioners, researchers and business managers currently have an opportunity to advance their careers, improve patient care, and gain international recognition with high-quality education presentations at the World Congress.
“The National Assembly always features the best business, clinical, and technical educators in the United States and adding international talent will surely take the program to a new level. We have 11 countries represented on the Planning Committee alone, so we expect to see the brightest minds in O&P from around the world in this year’s education program” said Christopher Nolan, Co-Chairman of the 2017 World Congress Planning Committee.
The Committee is accepting abstracts for Clinical Free Papers, the Technician Program, Business Education Program, and Symposia, in addition to a special Student/Resident Poster Submission category. AOPA has a list of topics of special interest, including osseointegration, public health topics, CAD/CAM, alternative payment methods, and more. The submission deadline for Clinical, Technical, and Symposia is March 1, 2017. The Business submission deadline is February 1, 2017.
