The University of Washington Department of Rehabilitation Medicine offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Prosthetics & Orthotics. The degree consists of a two-year preparatory phase of general education and prerequisite coursework, and a two-year professional phase after acceptance into the program. The program is uniquely integrated with the Physical and Occupational Therapy curricula during the first year of didactic coursework.
Upon successful completion of the program, the University of Washington School of Medicine awards students a Bachelor of Science degree. Following graduation, the student must complete a one-year residency in each discipline at a National Commission on Orthotics and Prosthetics Education (NCOPE) approved site. This residency requirement must be completed for eligibility to apply for the National Certification Boards administered by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics.
