Title:
A career in prosthetics
Text:
Hello,
For the past couple of years I have been preparing to enter specifically
the field of prosthetics and plan to enter an ABC certification program this
fall. I am not clear on how the new legislation will affect my future plans
to be a practicing prosthetist. I would like to hear suggestions from others
on how to pursue my goals. Will a certification program be enough? Should I
plan a graduate degree in Physical Therapy? It is important to me that I
become an excellent prosthetist with all the credentials needed to be
accepted as a knowledgeable, well educated professional. If you were
entering the field today, how would you prepare?
Thanks for your help.
