The German Association of Orthopaedic Technology, in close collaboration with Leipziger Messe, has created a specialist platform at OTWorld for the further training and exchange of young entrants to the sector – the fourth time such an event will have taken place in Leipzig.
“Every two years the Youth.Academy TO offers a unique combination of further training, learning from international experts, interdisciplinary exchange and a general overview of the current state of technology at the biggest trade show in the sector”, explains Klaus-Jürgen Lotz, President of the German Association of Orthopaedic Technology. “This scheme provides sustainable professional relationships and creates an awareness of how important continuous – and, above all, interdisciplinary – further training is. That constitutes the enormous difference and fantastic success of the Youth.Academy TO.”
Young specialists have already announced they will be there in 2018, according to the organiser: around 500 participants are expected, including, for the first time, new entrants to the sector from Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland. The Youth.Academy TO has been launched by Trainees and Teachers in Orthopaedic Technology (ALLOF e.V.); its conceptual partner is the German Association of Orthopaedic Technology.
