Editor’s Note: “The capabilities of any technical profession are
highly dependent on the quality of the science underlying it.” With
this thought in mind, Edward S. Neumann, PhD, issued a call to
expand and improve the advanced science content of O&P
curricula in an article published in the July issue of The O&P
EDGE. In this issue he provides an in-depth examination of four of
the seven areas in which he feels upgrading and expansion are
needed. A discussion of the last three areas, along with Dr.
Neumann’s recommendations and conclusions, will be published in the
September issue.
