There are about 900 Orthopedic Technologists certified in the US through
the N.A.O.T. which is based in Walnut Creek, California. This is not a new
organiztion as they have been in existance for nearly 30 years. Many OT,C's
are ex- medical corpsmen and received their training in the military. Mostly
they are concerned with the application and removal of fracture casts and
traction appliances, under the supervision of orthopedic surgeons. Their
website is www.naot.org for those interested.
