The International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics, among its many aims, seeks to act as a vehicle for the exchange of information through publication of its journal and organisation of seminars, courses and conferences. Through these activities, the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics strives to promote, encourage and support research, education and clinical training for professionals in prosthetics and orthotics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, engineering, rehabilitation medicine and others involved in rehabilitation of people with Neuromusculoskeletal disabilities.

The Scientific and Education Committee of the Australian National Members Society is charged with the responsibility of fulfilling these aims of the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics, and does so through the organisation of a scientific meeting, workshop or advanced instructional course annually. These events have covered a wide range of topics and have attracted some of the world's leading figures in prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation and engineering as evidenced by the list of major conference themes and keynote speakers.

To support such diverse scientific and educational activities, the committee comprises clinicians, academics and researchers with specialties in prosthetics and orthotics, biomechanics, engineering and medicine with tremendous clinical, educational and research experience.

Activities of the Scientific and Educational Committee have been tremendously successful over the past two decades which have contributed to the improved quality of research and educational outcomes; so much so that Australian's are now making their mark on the international stage as leaders in prosthetics and orthotics related research and education.

If you are interested in supporting the activities of the Scientific and Eduction Committee or wish to discuss scientific or educational activities, please contact the chairperson.
