Orthotic & Prosthetic Technician Program Newsletter

Insights From the Editor-In-Chief

Ahhhhh, the end of summer heat declines as the cooling breezes of fall begin to ruffle the tree branches.

What about drafting an article for the O&P Tech newsletter?

Maybe this weekend you will be able to churn out a rough draft and send your copy to me. The article copy needs to be 950 to 3,500 words and accompanying photos are most appreciated. I am seeking articles for the winter issue of the O&P Tech News and need your rough draft by December 1, 2026.

Once a rough draft is received, I will edit and return the copy to you for approval before publishing. The O&P Tech News (with your compelling article) will be distributed by the NCOPE in early February 2027.

Or, if the deadline date for the winter issue is too soon, we can shoot for the spring issue! The deadline date for receipt of rough drafts for the 2027 spring issue of the O&P Tech News is February 27, 2027.

So put on your creative, spell-binding hat and describe your thoughts and ideas about life and work as an O&P professional…rewards, downfalls, long-term plans. Very rough drafts are happily accepted, anytime!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Warm Regards,
Ruthie
