The AAOF mission is to provide a national professional organization that is geared to the Orthotic Fitter. The AAOF will provide continuing educational opportunities, a members message/video forum and legislative and industry information important to the Orthotic Fitter.
In the future, the AAOF will also an initial Orthotic Fitter Course.
It will be the AAOF's mission to protect and expand the Orthotic Fitters scope of practice through educational opportunities and working with other O&P organizations. We hope to have a robust online experience with 100's of learning video's and home study programs.
The new medical economic environment predicts that we will be using more off-the-shelf bracing than ever before. The AAOF will be the organization that helps you stay ahead of the curve so you can provide better service to your patients and referring physicians. The new trend is to have Orthotic Fitters work within the orthopedic office.
The AAOF will be a leader in training these new Super Fitters/Physician Extenders.
Thank you for your interest in the American Association of Orthotic Fitters.
Charles Barocas, Interim Director
