Building Focus on Clinical Research and Education
As a member of the Professional and Clinical Services department, Walsh will ensure that Otto Bock supports the growing need for peer-reviewed studies directed towards the clinician and payer communities. These types of studies will boost the acceptance of new products and technologies and increase the understanding of the benefits that the Orthotic and Prosthetic industry provides.
