Did you know that the conceptual basis for virtually all contemporary
O&P techniques stems from research conducted between 1945 and 1965?
Since education provides the stepping stone into the research arena, the
Academy's Project Quantum Leap is taking a systematic look at how to
meet contemporary research needs by creating advanced educational
pathways in the U.S., including academic doctoral programs.

In addition to making strategic recommendations, the project will foster
the development of the academic and clinical environments necessary to
establish advanced degree programs, and identify and recruit academic
faculty with the ability to mentor PhD students. To learn more, read the
Advanced Education Research Training Initiatives (AERTI) report at
