PFA Digital Workflow Seminar Survey

The PFA Educational Committee is reaching out to professionals interested in digital orthotics. The purpose is to determine the best educational format and topics. All programs would offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

The seminar format would include a LIVE workshop that would be held in New York City. This will involve working at a digital orthotic laboratory and taught by a board-certified pedorthist. With more than five years of hands-on experience, topics will cover designing and manufacturing custom orthotics using both CNC milling and 3D printing technologies.

Thank you for your feedback so we can provide the best educational experience.
