Application Process

Please apply to the orthotic and prosthetic residency program using OPRESCAS, the NCOPE centralized application system for residents:

Each candidate must possess a Master's degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics from a CAAHEP accredited program.

Internationally educated orthotists/prosthetists must submit their transcripts via the World Education Services (WES) Education Evaluation.  The evaluation must clearly identify that a master's degree or higher in orthotics and prosthetics was awarded. 

Resources for internationally trained orthotic and prosthetic professionals can be found on the NCOPE website:

  1. Complete the OPRESCAS application, which is open from October 1 – December 15
  2. Official transcripts: Please send official transcripts from your O&P school after the fall quarter/semester is complete.  This is in addition to the unofficial transcript you will submit with the OPRESCAS application.
  3. Interviews: Select applicants will be interviewed remotely through a video call in January.
  4. Decision date: We will notify candidates of our decision in February 2025, in conjunction with other hospital-based residency sites..
