Hello All,
As you know the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists provides a supplemental publication called the Academy Today (AT). This is a platform for Societies to share relevant information with the entire Academy membership. CAD/CAM and Fabrication Sciences Societies are submitting a joint AT and we are looking to provide authorship opportunities. Below are a few guidelines for a submission.
* Target word count: 1,800 minimum not to exceed 2,000 words. Images count for ~ 100 words per 1 image. Small discussion articles may be considered depending on strength of content.
* Authors may discuss clinical insight, skills, and/or progress made on a specific project. A case study is a good example or anything that is clinical or research oriented.
* Authors must be a member of AAOP
* Submissions may in NO WAY be advertorial in nature.
* Important dates:
* 2/15: Abstract brief submitted to
* Dave Knapp – CAD/CAM Chair [email protected]
* Duffy Felmlee- Fabrication Sciences Chair [email protected]
* 5/15: Complete manuscript
* 6/1: Manuscript submitted to publisher
* 10/1: Publishing with the issue of O&P Edge
If this process seems daunting the Society Chairs and other membership are certainly willing to assist.
This is an exciting opportunity to share your work and efforts to a group of like-minded and interested consumers. We are looking forward to this publication and would like our membership to be represented in the development of content.
Thank you for considering this opportunity.
