Event Information: Echoing the success of the past two conferences, this 1 ½ day conference is for administrators, coordinators, and practitioners of orthotic and prosthetic providers to learn benchmarks of program success, ways to improve their programs, and the implications of healthcare changes. Discussions will include topics such as Empower best practices, documentation requirements, hands-on training for updates, regulatory updates, and more. There will be many opportunities to ask questions of presenters, as well as fellow attendees, and to engage in in-depth discussion. Join us for what plans to be an exciting event!
