AAOE Casting, Splinting and Soft Goods Program Skills Checklist

Pdf Summary

The AAOE Casting, Splinting and Soft Goods Program provides a skills checklist for participants to demonstrate their proficiency in various casting, splinting, and soft goods techniques. Participants are required to practice each technique multiple times under the supervision of a program proctor before presenting the casts to a physician or physician assistant for sign off. Feedback from the clinical providers is encouraged to help participants improve their technique and learn the preferences of the office. The program acknowledges that some clinical providers may have different casting techniques, so participants need to demonstrate proficiency in both techniques if there is significant variation. <br /><br />To fulfill the program requirements, participants must demonstrate the safe and proficient use of a cast saw on fiberglass casts, properly apply and remove each cast indicated in their program, demonstrate proficiency in applying fiberglass splints, complete and pass knowledge check assessments, and sign the participant casting agreement. Depending on the preferences of the proctor and the clinical providers, participants may be allowed to perform casting and/or splinting techniques on patients before completing the entire program if a particular procedure has been signed off. <br /><br />The skills checklist includes a list of casts, splints, and soft goods that participants must practice and demonstrate proficiency in before they can be signed off by a physician or physician assistant. Once signed off, participants must upload the final assignment and skills checklist as part of their completion of the program. The checklist also includes spaces for participant and proctor signatures and dates. <br /><br />The participant casting agreement emphasizes the importance of proper training and not performing any procedures until receiving appropriate sign off from a physician or physician assistant. Participants must sign the agreement and upload it into the final assignment and skills checklist task of the program.
