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:
