I want to post the link to the new survey page for lymphedema therapists on the American Lymphedema Framework Project (ALFP) website.  This is a very important project and I am hoping that you as a patient can send the link by email or in person to your personal LE therapist and ask them to continue to spread the word.  The deadline for completion of the therapist survey is November 20th. The more participants, the more accurate a picture the data will provide of the current spectrum of LE practice.  So...let us as patients do our job in encouraging all therapists we know to participate!

Lymphedema Therapist Survey

This survey was developed under the leadership of the ALFP research committee chaired by Dr. Electra Paskett and co-chaired by Dr. Mei Fu with input by expert clinicians on the ALFP steering committee. The answers you provide on the survey will be used for research purposes only and are strictly anonymous. Your answers will be evaluated for statistical purposes only. Your input will assist the ALFP in understanding current practices of lymphedema care in the United States today, and will move forward the ALFP goals of evaluating appropriate health care services and improving quality of care for patients with lymphedema. As a practicing lymphedema therapist, your participation is valuable in this worthwhile endeavor.
