A silver anniversary tribute to therapists of the American Burn Association
Abstract:
The year 1993 marks the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the American Burn Association (ABA). Since Dr. Curtis P. Artz extended an invitation for membership in 1968, therapist membership has increased to 387 current members. During the quarter century the ABA has met, therapists have presented 211 abstracts, and 17 therapists have presented instructional courses and educational symposia. Thirty-three therapists have moderated correlative sessions, and 95 therapists have fulfilled this capacity for Breakfast Symposia. The OT/PT Special Interest Group has been lead by 12 therapists, whereas 30 therapists have participated in two rehabilitation workshops. On the organizational level, three therapists have served as At-Large Members to the Board of Trustees, whereas 11 others have served on the At-Large Advisory Board. Sixty-three therapists have worked on 11 ABA committees. As senior authors, therapists have had 118 articles published in the Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation. In addition, four therapists have served the Journal in an editorial capacity. Therapists have been recognized for their efforts as recipients of Distinguished Service Awards, Educational Exchange Grants, and President's Continuing Education Awards.
