A year past..

Its amazing to think that 9 months ago we not only had never heard of subtalar neutral but we had also never met the twelve people who we have now become so close. Packing up my first year notes reminded me of all we've learnt...transtibial sockets, sach feet, empathy, what not to wear in the emergency room, forces at the hip and so much more (literally a stack close to a meter tall). We are officially done our first year, our work terms have now finished and we're all about to start summer work. Our work terms proved to be an awesome experience that allowed us to finally put all that final exam knowledge to use. Almost everyone have set up jobs in the field for the summer all across the country (Vancouver, Red Deer, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg) and even elsewhere in the world (we'll hopefully hear more of this in future posts). Now that our small group of twelve is spread across the world for the summer we won't be reuniting until ISPO in Vancouver (July 29th to August 3rd). Almost all of us will be volunteering and attending the conference which we all look forward to, especially after all we learnt in San Fran at the American academy meeting. So until then...
