The National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE) is seeking qualified individuals or a team of consultants/contractors, or non-governmental organizations to perform workforce research for the Orthotic and Prosthetic (O&P) profession.
The outcome of this work will provide information about the current O&P workforce and projected workforce needs. Specifically, it will investigate the total need, types of need and unmet need for O&P services and will include all prosthetic and orthotic professionals within the United States. The outcome of this work will support education programs, employers, and decision makers with information about the need for O&P professionals to make decisions for long-term growth, opportunity for workforce development needs, and to support the health within the United States. Additionally, the outcomes will inform the work of regulatory bodies whose guidelines are informed by evidence.
