Membership provides the opportunity for professional involvement and contacts with those of similar activities and interests. It makes available information on best practices in all aspects of the field - research, education and service.
Most importantly, however, membership of the Society gives the best opportunity for the individual to shape the future in this area of activity both nationally and internationally.
Where there are more than five members in any country, or region, they may band together to form a National Member Society. Each member is entitled to a special registration rate at every ISPO function.
Each sponsoring member is entitled to special considerations concerning display booths at ISPO functions.
Members from developing countries and Student members are entitled to a reduction in dues and fees.
All Members receive the Journal of the Society - Prosthetics and Orthotics International - which is one of the leading journals in the field
