I have my degree & license in Occupational Therapy (COTA/L). I work for an Orthopedic Surgeon as his clinic support (Nursing type duties). I have been bracing, casting and splint since college 10 years ago. My place of empolyment gave me the opportunity to attend Charlie’s Casting workshop, on a Saturday, in our facility. Of course I took the opportunity to learn something knew, even after my 10 year experience and college education. I felt the course did have some good techniques that I am now able to apply on a daily basis. Of course, everyone comes up with their own way of applying materials, after much practice, but this workshop gave everyone, experienced and nonexperienced, a good baseline of information. I highly recommend it for anyone working in the healthcare profession. Thank You Charlie!!
The ASOP website needs a lot of work….. I have been letting it go for a long time now. With all the travel to workshops its hard to work 8 days a week. Hey I’m old (62) and tired. So ASOP has partnered with http://www.lowerextremityreview.com and will spend over $10,000 to bring you a world class orthopedic website that will specialize in orthopedic videos and downloads. Give us about 100 days and we will WOW Ya!
I can appreciate your long work days and dedication. I hope that the web site improves. I too am getting up there in age (58) and am still working 12 hour shifts in an ER as an LPN/ Ortho Tech, seeing multiple acute ortho injuries daily. I did find Dr Sargentos casting class a to be a good source of information for me. WE don’t do a lot of casting as the injuries are acute and splinting is the best treatment or bracing as the injury requires. best of luck to the ASOP. J Robin Allen
