Joe Shamp followed in his father’s footsteps to pursue a career in O&P-one that has included private practice, active involvement in the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) and the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA), and teaching upper-limb prosthetics at St. Petersburg College, Florida, as an adjunct professor for the past four years. His current position at James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital (JAHVH), Tampa, Florida, however, reflects the area of O&P he is most passionate about-serving veterans. Shamp is also working on the robotic arm being developed by DEKA Research and Development, Manchester, New Hampshire.
