question on training doctors

[Guest guest]

After receiving a question regarding which new doctors have been trained, we

felt it would be helpful to post the following information.

The list of docs on the CAST Database was compiled by a parent and reflects the

status current at that time. Anyone consulting this list should call the

hospital and ask them whether or not they still provide Early Treatment with EDF

(elongation, de-rotation, flexion) serial plaster casting with the appropriate

pediatric size frame.

The same would apply if parents are contacting a hospital they hope to one day

see providing Early Treatment. Attending a training session does not guarantee

that the hospital will begin an Early Treatment program. There is much

involved, especially the acquisition of a proper frame. Parents can be very

influential in showing the hospitals that there is a patient base for this

treatment and that it would be beneficial and profitable for them to provide it.

Thanks,
