The Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Prosthetics and Orthotics at
Georgia Tech is a new education program that is an additional offering
in the School of Applied Physiology in which students are educated to
become academicians and research investigators to lead the broad field
of rehabilitation medicine and specific field of prosthetics/orthotics
in expanding the body of knowledge. Students and faculty in the
Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Prosthetics and Orthotics will also
work with students and faculty in the Master of Science in Prosthetics
and Orthotics (MSPO) program. The MSPO program (www.ap.gatech.edu/mspo)
is an entry-level clinician training program to prepare individuals to
enter clinical practice who are also trained to provide
interdisciplinary applied research. See detailed announcement of the
Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Prosthetics and Orthotics below:
*School of Applied Physiology
Georgia Institute of Technology*
*Atlanta**, GA**
Pre-Doctoral Training Program*
*Prosthetics and Orthotics *
The School of Applied Physiology at the Georgia Institute of Technology
announces the inauguration of the */first PhD training program in
prosthetics and orthotics/*. Located in the College of Sciences,
graduate training in the School focuses on interdisciplinary education
and research in biomechanics and the physiological basis of movement
control. Capitalizing on current collaborations with units on campus,
e.g. the College of Engineering, and off campus, e.g. the School of
Medicine at Emory University, the program invites applicants to become
active participants in the evolution of a research culture in the
field of prosthetics and orthotics, advance the profession and, in the
larger context, contribute to the broader field of Rehabilitation
Medicine. Applicants should be forward thinking and ready to embrace
potential leadership opportunities in collaborative research efforts to
advance the field of Rehabilitation Medicine.
With the support of the NIH and the Georgia Institute of Technology,
three students will be accepted into the program each year. Each student
will be supported for three years including a stipend, tuition waiver, a
travel budget and funding for related expenses. Twenty-six graduate
faculty and over 50 clinical faculty residing in five separate Schools
at Georgia Tech, two schools at Georgia State and two departments in the
School of Medicine at Emory University are committed to mentoring
students and actively participating in related committee work. The
flexible curriculum with a series of required and elective classes is
designed to accommodate basic undergraduate preparation in engineering
and the life sciences as well as pre-professional applicants and
post-professional applicants in the fields of medicine,
prosthetics/orthotics as well as physical and occupational therapy.
