The New York State Chapter of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists ( www.nysaaop.org) held their Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions, May 15-17, 2019 at the Rivers Casino and Spa in Schenectady, NY.
25.5 continuing education credits were available as compared to 18.5 for 2018 and attendance was up 12%. As always, the very popular Exhibitor Theatre was held right after lunch on Thursday’s General Sessions.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the Citizens Preparedness presentation by Tech Sergeant, Matt Kassel, Army National Guard, NY Citizens Preparedness Corps and Staff Sergeant, Fernando Aguilar, Army National Guard, NY Citizens Preparedness Corp. This is a one of a kind presentation done by the New York State Army National Guard (we know because we researched whether we could have similar presentations done at other state O&P meetings.)
The meeting began at 8:00am on Wednesday, May 15th and concluded at 1:00pm on Friday, May 17th. Pedorthics, prosthetics, orthotics, practice management, billing, reimbursement and more!
