Heck, it's damn cheap!  


I have personally completed over 35 hours of these CE opportunities for my own ABC CE requirements.   I think these courses are a great learning experience.  You will especially enjoy the Functional Knee Brace course.  I think everyone should take the infection control series even if you don't need the hours.   You can print out a PDF of each course and keep them for reference or a training tool for your staff.
 
After you complete each course you can print out a certificate of completion.  Your hours will be sent to ABC/BOC automatically in January 2011 if you included your certification number. If you need additional CE hours You can see the live casting workshop schedule at http://www.castingworkshop.com/   These workshops focus on orthopedic fracture casting and are approved (for orthotists and orthotic fitters) for Cat 1 (S) 9.5 hrs plus you are awarded an additional 10.5 (S) with the incuded distance learning orthopedic manual & CD.
Do these CE now and attend a live casting workshop in the future! See the casting course at www.castingworkshop.com
