Prosthetics and Orthotics Clinical Rotations

 

The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ MSPO Program partners with accredited clinical sites locally and regionally to organize student experiences observing and assisting certified professionals in the field. Applicants are required to reach a minimum of 100 shadowing or work hours at prosthetics & orthotics clinics, and this learning experience continues throughout the program, with a sequence of courses devoted to exposure to patients in the clinical setting. Students will graduate from the program with approximately 400 additional hours of this type of experience. Access to a vehicle is required for the program, in order to visit a variety of clinical sites during the five semesters at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½.

To prepare for safe participation in this aspect of the curriculum, students are required to meet specific medical preparations, including immunizations and safety training. For extended visits at some clinical sites, a background check may be required.
