We are looking for an organized, process oriented, grammar enthusiast. An independent thinker who takes pride in their work will excel in this position. We need someone who dots every ‘I’, crosses every ‘t’, and notices when other people do not. Strong customer service skills are a must. Successful managers and sales people will get a close look.
Our new position is ideal for anyone with a vested interest in a non-traditional office. You will be able to work wherever you can pick up the internet. Your desk can be at home, on a sailboat, or in Tahiti – just so long as your work gets done.
We have an immediate need for someone to help us streamline our business processes. This position has two aspects: a salary component and a commission component.
This position is a chance for you to be part of something, much more than a cog in a machine. It’s also a chance to make some money. Your income will grow as we do. You can be a 1099 or W2 employee, whatever makes the most sense.
Interested? Please attach your resume to an email and send it to resume@cecpo.com. Include your salary requirements and dream desk location in the body and “Process Manager” in the subject line.
The big story to come out of the meeting was the 50-1 vote to combine the TAOP and the TCAAOP. Letter from the Presidents of both boards. The new organization will be called the Texas Society of Orthotic and Prosthetic Professionals (TSOPP). The Texas Chapter of the American Academy of Orthotists will vote in August to finalize the merger.
“The merger has a lot of forward momentum and will be great for orthotic and prosthetic practitioners in Texas, ” said Elizabeth Mansfield, TAOP Administrative Secretary. “I can’t wait, I’m so excited.”
The content at this year’s conference was as well received as the results of the business meeting. “We really had outstanding presentations this year, ” said Chad Wallace, TAOP President, “Alicia White, PT was our keynote speaker and she really did an outstanding job.”
Some quotes from the course evaluations:
“Very good presentation. Speaker was very knowledgeable regarding the topic presented. Need more presentations like this.”
“Good informative presentation. More presentations of this quality the better.”
“This type of presentation is more appropriate than a manufacturer’s “sales” presentation.”
“Great introduction – would like to see a follow-up presentation in 2-3 years!!”
“Great stuff!! More like this!”
The top presenters were:
Angie Cooper – Medicare Updates: 99.28% Evaluation Score
Dennis Janisse, CPed – Common Foot Problems – 98.55% Evaluation Score
The exhibitors had a lot of good things to say about the event:
“Great show. This meeting is better than quite a few others I attend.”
“Nice job on the event, looking forward to the next one!”
“Perfect as usual.”
“Excellent food! Love the passbook.”
The food at the Hilton San Antonio Hill Country was outstanding and deserves mention. Check out the deserts…
In all likelihood this was the final TAOP meeting. But next year will be the first TSOPP meeting. One chapter ends and another begins. The combined knowledge, resources, and personalities of both the TAOP and the TCAAOP should make for a memorable conference. See you next year, we are looking forward to it.
Instructors for Clinical Education Concepts reached a huge milestone this month. We have now provided over 30,000 hours of continuing education to about 14,000 individual therapists.
Orthotists and prosthetists are teaching Clinical Education Concept’s course material in over 30 different states. And even though we are making significant strides in bridging the gap between O&P and the therapy community there is still so much work that needs to be done.
Physical therapists are lucky if they receive 3 credit hours of prosthetic training throughout their entire collegiate careers. The therapy community is eager to learn about treating people with limb and functional loss. Dermatological problems, gait issues, mobility, documentation…there is so much information to share.
Collaboration is important for people with limb loss to reach their full potential. Providing in-services is a great way to share knowledge and position yourself as the subject-matter expert in your community.
Physical Therapists are lucky if they receive three credit hours of O&P training throughout their entire collegiate careers. So who better to educate therapists about orthotics and prosthetics than orthotists and prosthetists?
Providing regular in-services to your therapists is a great way to strengthen relationships and showcase your expertise as a clinician. Learn more about education-based marketing.
