Georgia Tech to Offer Symposium, Tours

In combination with the 35th Annual Meeting and Scientific Symposium of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (the Academy), the prosthetics and orthotics program at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Atlanta, will host an afternoon symposium and tours of its facilities and laboratories. On Wednesday, March 4, from 1 to 5:30 p.m., the institute invites participants to connect with Georgia Tech scientists and clinicians engaged in investigations relevant to O&P clinical practice. According to Georgia Tech, the purpose of the event is to "build the bridge between basic science, engineering science, and applied clinical practice" in O&P.

The symposium and tours will occur at the Georgia Tech Campus, two miles from the Atlanta Hilton, site of the Academy's annual meeting. Round-trip transportation from the Hilton to the campus will be provided for registered attendees. Attendees must register in advance, and attendance is limited. CECs will be awarded.
