Orlando Orthopaedic Center announced
today their 2010 Sixth Annual Orthopaedic
Update for Allied Healthcare Professions will again bring the latest
technology and surgical procedures used to treat orthopaedic conditions and sports
medicine injuries to Orlando on July 31.
Conference leaders and speakers
will fly in from around the country to take part in the nationally recognized
educational seminar with proceeds being donated to the University of Central
Florida Student Physical Therapy Association.
Topics include orthopaedic issues
and injuries associated with musculoskeletal trauma, wrist, hand, hip, knee,
ankle and foot conditions as well as rehabilitation considerations for
non-operative treatment options, pre-surgical therapy options and post-surgical
therapy protocols.
To date, there are already more
than 350 attendees pre-registered for the event from across the U.S. Guests typically
include physical therapists/physical therapy assistants, physician assistants,
certified athletic trainers, advanced registered nurse practitioners,
registered nurses, physicians and more.
Over the course of the five year
event, more than $7,000 has been donated back to the UCF Student Physical
Therapy Association in an effort to help students experience the orthopaedic
profession hands-on.
“It’s a great honor for us to be
putting on our sixth consecutive summer orthopaedic update seminar that not
only allows fellow healthcare professionals to get the training they require,
but gives us the opportunity to donate back to a top-quality student
organization focused on our industry,” says Bob Hammons, director of client
services and sports medicine outreach coordinator for Orlando Orthopaedic
Center. “Technology moves so fast, having the ability to show the attendees how
these advances impact, or will impact, their everyday functions is a huge asset
to them and a great honor for us.” |
