Inservices-this is an area where marketing, community service, and better patient care all meet. Educating professionals in other disciplines about O&P services helps the O&P practitioner, colleagues in related rehab fields-and ultimately, patients and their communities.

But how do you conduct effective inservices? Dale Berry, CP, shares insights in the feature article, "Inservices: Pathway to Success."

Being able to come up with creative, out-of-the-ordinary solutions is integral to top-level O&P practice, since every patient can present an individual and unique challenge. Upper-extremity specialists present their views and experiences in "Thinking Outside the Box."

Are you compliant? Are you sure? File documentation and compliance with OIG guidelines can protect your business professionally and financially. Attorney Sheila Press explores this vital subject in this issue.

Professional and trade associations meeting attendance soared to new heights in 2002-the Academy, AOPA, and PFA all enjoyed record-breaking crowds. Kicking off with the Hanger Educational Fair this month, 2003 could be another great year. What are your plans for increasing your clinical and business know-how?
