We were the first orthotics and prosthetics program to integrate the residency into the degree. Program graduates are eligible to sit for both Orthotics and Prosthetics board certification exams upon completion of their M.S. degree.
When I started at BCM, I was surprised at how close-knit the class was and how close you become to the faculty. It's a group that wants to see you be your best. They will challenge you along the way, but also provide the support you need to get everything you want out of the program.
The mission of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Program at Ïã¸Û6ºÏ¿ª½±½á¹û is to provide the highest level of education through evidence-based teaching and curriculum design, integrated clinical residency, direct contributions to Orthotics and Prosthetics research, and collaboration with the local and national rehabilitative care community.
The vision of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Program to prepare orthotists and prosthetists who provide high-quality, evidence-based, and equitable patient-centered care; participate as active members of the interprofessional rehabilitative team; promote diversity and inclusion within the profession; serve in leadership and advocacy roles; and, engage in professional development, research, and the education of future professionals.
The faculty clearly demonstrate the program's mission every day. They teach us to treat every patient with compassion and that comes through in all encounters.
