The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists, through a grant from the Department of Education, has produced this video to promote careers in Orthotics and Prosthetics. This is a profession which is growing because of the need for their services. This need arises from multiple causes including the needs our returning military from Iraq and Afghanistan, and in the civilian population due to the dual epidemics of obesity and diabetes and the aging of our population.
Take a few minutes to view this video and see how you too can have an exciting and rewarding career as a medical professional in the area of orthotics and prosthetics working to make a difference in the lives of people every day.
Really cool video. I am starting a Co-op next week in a local practitioners office doing all I can to get right into the O and P field!
