This seminar-style course is based on the principles of cultural humility. Highlighting the history of medicine, orthotic & prosthetics, ethics, and health disparities. This course environment is structured to allow the learner to be introspective and self-reflective through creative thinking and personal exploration of strengths and personality traits. The tenants of compassion, respect, and dignity will be explored in how we approach patient management, patient outcomes, and working with others.
This course provides exposure to fundamental concepts of orthotics and prosthetics. The purpose of the course is to provide foundation in history, scope of practice, exposure, methods of assessment and delivery, and basic knowledge to O&P. The course outlines the scope of the profession of orthotics and prosthetics. The course allows students to familiarize themselves with commonly used terminology, materials, fabrication processes, component identification, orthotic and prosthetic classifications, and custom-fit orthoses and prostheses. Parts of this course will reflect on social structures that have helped shape reality as our patients experience it when we are providing care.
This seminar-style course will focus on introducing students to independent study topic areas (e.g., Digital Workspace, Clinical Leadership & Practice Management, Cultural Humility & Health Disparities). The course will highlight key aspects of each topic presented. The course environment is structured to allow the learner to determine which area they will select and take throughout the program in an independent study format.
This course provides intensive instruction in gross human anatomy and functional kinesiology.

Students use each other as pseudo-patient models to fabricate and fit an array of custom orthoses. Parts of this course will reflect on social structures that have helped shape reality as our patients experience it when we are providing care. An interprofessional approach will be covered.
This course examines the principles, foundational knowledge, and clinical practices of upper limb (UL) prosthetic management. Prosthetic designs across all levels will be reviewed, along with specialty populations including bilateral and congenital limb differences. Topics include patient models and outcome assessment, post-operative management, impression and measurement techniques, fit and function evaluation, fabrication processes, and component/material selection. The course will explore the social contexts shaping patient experiences and emphasizes the value of interprofessional care.
This course focuses on developing writing skills, evidence-based research skills, and clinical decision-making skills within a case report format from the role of orthotist and prosthetist. This course will provide the foundational structure to describe the clinical encounter with a patient and development of a case study.
This seminar style course is based on the principles of cultural humility and self-care. This course is structured to allow the learner to be introspective and self-reflective through creative thinking and personal exploration of how their strengths and personality traits play a role in interaction with others. The tenants of compassion, respect, and dignity will be further explored in how we approach patient management, patient outcomes, and working with others.
Students independently explore and learn varied roles within O&P healthcare delivery system, specifically focused on management and leadership. Areas of exploration may include regulatory and reimbursement mechanisms that affect delivery of O&P services throughout the continuum of care. Students may explore how individuals became leaders and managers with their respective areas in O&P.
Students independently explore and learn how technology has advanced within O&P healthcare delivery system, specifically focused on areas of limb capture, software, printing, and digital applications (management to application). Students may explore how individuals became interested, navigated, and implemented the advancement of technology with their respective areas in O&P.
Students independently explore areas of societal attitudes, individual perspectives, cultural perspectives, adaptation, and implications of health disparities and cultural humility within the context of the health care delivery system and broader society. Students may explore how individuals became interested, navigated, and got involved in outreach. Students may engage with organizations whose mission is to assist others (locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally).
Seminar course will provide in-depth and most up-to-date information on billing, coding, and reimbursement within O&P. Course will cover medical policy basics, Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD), Letters of Medical Necessity, Coding Principles, and Compliance.
This course will provide pediatric-focused content within orthotic and prosthetic practice. The course focuses on the areas of early human development and pathologies commonly seen in the pediatric population. The learner will be introduced to orthotic interventions specific to pediatric population. Parts of this course will reflect on social structures that have helped shape reality as our patients and family supports experience it when we are providing care. Emphasis on the importance of interprofessional collaboration and communication will be covered.
This course provides students with an opportunity to investigate possible future career paths within their chosen profession of O&P. The student will gather information which serves as the basis for introspection and self-reflection for future decision making.

This seminar course is part two of a two-part course which spans across two semesters studying the role of orthotist and prosthetist in the development of case reports and the role of evidence- based practice. This course will provide the foundational structure to describe the clinical encounter with a patient and development of a case study. Students will complete a capstone/case report for this final section to meet NCOPE requirements.
Course exposes the O&P student to advanced developments in O&P and the researchers and practitioners who are advancing the profession. Topics will range from but not limited to impression techniques, modification techniques, advanced componentry, microprocessor-controlled systems, suspension systems to pattern recognition in O&P.
Course designed to prepare the O&P student to transition into their NCOPE residency phase of the program. Will evaluate NCOPE requirements and review ABC code of professional practice as it relates to residency and professional interactions.
This course examines the principles and practices of lower limb prosthetics as it relates to amputations distal to the knee and proximal to the knee.

The clinical residency phase of the program consists of three 6-month or two 9-month local, regional, and national rotations equaling 18-months in totality as required by National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE). This critical phase involves students gaining exposure in a broad and in-depth experiential learning and clinical environments within both disciplines (O&P) within a variety of clinical settings. Preparation for the integrated clinical residency occurs during the 16-month didactic portion of the program. Upon completion of both the didactic and clinical portions of the program, graduates are eligible to sit for the ABC Board Exam in both disciplines (Orthotics and Prosthetics).
