Upon graduation from a CAAHEP accredited O&P program, individuals wanting to pursue certification by ABC at the practitioner level must attend an NCOPE accredited residency program. It is during the residency program that individuals gain the clinical training and experience needed to balance their primary education with experience to generate the best practitioner possible. Residents should expect and receive sufficient variety and volume of adequate exposure in orthotics and/or prosthetics in three primary areas: pediatrics, adult and geriatrics.
