The Coalition staff has been working hard to assemble the program for our upcoming National Conference. We are pleased to announce that the conference program has been updated on our Web site. You will see that this year’s Conference offers a mix of sessions and clinics on topics that are always important to our attendees as well as sessions that focus on current issues in the limb loss community. Once again, our Conference will feature the following sessions/clinics:

Additionally, we are proud to offer exciting sessions on the following topics:

These are just some of the exciting educational opportunities available at the Amputee Coalition 2015 National Conference.

Please join us July 23-25 at the JW Marriott StarrPass in Tucson, AZ for the only event in the country where being an amputee is the norm, not the exception. Don’t sweat the heat; the AC will be pumped up!
