OPGA Finalizes 2007 M.A.S. Seminars

The Orthotic & Prosthetic Group of America (OPGA) has finalized the 2007 M.A.S. Seminar schedule, OPGA President Jim Andreassen announced.

"Since September of 2004, OPGA has hosted 26 M.A.S seminars and qualified nearly 600 prosthetists across the world in this innovative socket design that has received rave reviews from both patients and prosthetists," Andreassen said. "There have been several improvements in the socket design and the seminar itself, so even if you have already attended, a refresher course should help." A discount on the registration fee is available for all previous M.A.S. attendees, he noted.

OPGA gave the following course schedule:

January 13-14 Aliso Viejo, CA - Cal State University Dominguez Hills March 10-11 Dallas, TX - Texas Scottish Rite Hospital (Tentative date) May 10-11 Atlanta, GA - Georgia Institute of Technology September 6-7 Holbrook, NY - Hutnick Rehab (in conjunction with the New York State Chapter of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists [NYSAAOP] meeting) October 13-14 Chicago, IL - Northwestern University Prosthetic & Orthotic Center Two tiers of learning are offered at the seminars:

* Tier I - "Hands-On" - Full two-day seminar, which includes patient evaluation with casting, modifications, and two test sockets. Attendee is encouraged to provide own patient model and his/her travel arrangements.

Tier II - "Observation" - Full two-day seminar that includes all course materials, observation of patient evaluation, but no hands-on participation. There will be two-three observers "teamed up" with each hands-on attendee who will assist in all aspects of the casting, modifying and fitting of the test sockets.

"For those not familiar with the M.A.S. socket design, it is a revolutionary new socket design created by Marlo Ortiz from Guadalajara, Mexico," Andreassen explained.
