Expansion of Online Continuing Education Courses | American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists

Working with accredited O&P schools, the Academy is developing online continuing education courses based on the best practices identified in the SSCs, enabling clinicians to readily incorporate these findings into daily practice. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, practitioners can access and complete the courses online to earn Professional Continuing Education credits. Courses based on the first five SSCs are available now in the Paul E. Leimkuehler Online Learning Center (OLC).

These projects have been funded by a grant from the United States Department of Education Special Demonstration Programs—Projects for Orthotic and Prosthetic Research. The purpose of this program is to provide funding in response to the Department of Education Appropriations Act for one or more projects designed to improve the quality of applied orthotic and prosthetic research and to help meet the increasing demand for provider services.
