No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

API FlyerThe Medical Robotics Club is looking for students interested in starting a chapter of the Accessible Prosthetics Initiative at Georgia Tech.
What is API?
Our mission is to increase access to prosthetic technologies and care, especially for those who cannot access these through traditional avenues
The three main ways we seek to complete our mission:
Educational initiatives
Educate amputees on what is available to them so they can make informed decisions
Teach current and future professionals how to incorporate accessible devices into their practice
Community development
Reach out to amputees and those in the healthcare field (doctors, prosthetists, and therapists)
Connect students, amputees, and healthcare providers who are passionate about prosthetics with one another
Developing accessible devices
Create something that has maximum clinical impact but is still accessible and affordable
We work with colleges around the country, including Ohio State and University of Pittsburgh, and we’re trying to start a chapter here at Tech
Why you should join:
Ensure all amputees get quality care
Help to break down the financial and social barriers that many amputees may experience
Educate amputees on the different technologies and clinical practices available to them
