Here is a job offer for an Orthotist (or orthotic fitter) who can do acute
fracture casting or an Orthopedic Technologist who can apply braces. This
is where the industry is going as far as employment opportunities within the
10,000 orthopedic practices and 800 hospitals that maintain orthopedic
departments.

Be in front of the curve. If you're an Orthotic Fitter learn fracture
casting. If you're an Orthopedic Technologist, sharpen your bracing skills.
   Employers want dual trained employees. In Florida (and many other
states) , you can even add x-ray technology to your resume by passing the
state exam without going one day to school. Twenty-eight states allow less
than the full 2 yr RT training or no licensing at all to take xrays.
Combine this with knowledge of casting and bracing and you are the second
most important person in the practice.

Imagine....a fracture patient comes visits the orthopedic office. You take
the xray, you put on the cast, you take off the cast, apply the brace.
