What is a Certified Orthotist?
To be awarded certification through Orthotics Prosthetics Canada (OPC), an applicant must graduate from an OPC-approved post-secondary clinical school, as well as complete a minimum of 3,450 hours of residency, working directly with prosthetics or orthotics. The residency must also be supervised by a Canadian certified by OPC.
Following residency, the applicant must complete a three-day national exam. Following the successful completion of the exam, an applicant must then be recommended to the OPC board of directors. Upon approval by the board, the applicant is then certified for an initial five years and then recertified in five-year terms.
