After returning from the Hanger Education Fair in Las Vegas, Nevada, The O&P EDGE crew headed to Orlando, Florida, for the 39th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (the Academy). We love these meetings! Going to conferences gives us the opportunity to talk face to face with our readers and clients about what they need to help them do their jobs better and grow their businesses. One of the things we’ve learned over the years is that while practitioners want to attend national meetings—and need to in order to obtain continuing education units (CEUs)—they cannot always afford to attend meetings regularly. It’s not simply a matter of travel costs, it’s also the associated cost of closing their doors to patients. While webinars are slowly catching on as a supplement, practitioners still refer to industry magazines and websites for information about continuing education opportunities. The O&P EDGE is excited to announce the pilot of a new, convenient continuing education opportunity—EDGE Quick Credit.
