Orthotic & Prosthetic Technician Program Newsletter

Insights From the Editor-In-Chief

For those of us in the western part of the U.S., seeing a decrease of the cold and snowy weather creates the illusion of springtime…something many of us are awaiting with glee.

Springtime also means that the students in the four O& P Technology Programs are now seeking O&P practices where they may complete onsite practicums to conclude their education and training programs. Students have the option of completing practicums at one or two sites for the practicum. The expanded format, including practicums, allows a student to encounter a broader array of fabrication experiences.

If your practice is seeking an educated and well-trained technician, please contact the Program Directors listed below and let them know that a practicum site is available at your practice.
