The 2012 Military Health System (MHS) Conference will be held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center at National Harbor, Md. from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, 2012.

From 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Jan. 31, learn about the way-ahead in prosthetics from leading experts Dean Kamen, Mike McLoughlin, and Col. James Ficke.

Wounded Warriors facing amputations now look forward to a better future thanks to revolutionary new prosthetics.

This session will address dramatic improvements and exciting work in upper and lower extremity prostheses: development of the "DEKA arm," the ability to move prostheses in a more "natural" way, and active orthoses.

Don't wait, sign up now!
