APPROVAL OF PEDORTHIC PRE-CERTIFICATION COURSES NOW UNDER
THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON ORTHTOIC AND PROSTHETIC EDUCATION (NCOPE)
Effective January 1, 2009, the approval of pre-certification courses for
the profession of pedorthics is under the organizational umbrella of the
National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE). The
Commission on Accreditation of Pedorthic Education (CAPE) dissolved as a
corporation and now functions as a committee under NCOPE. All
previously accredited CAPE programs are now NCOPE approved.
Negotiations between the two organizations took place throughout 2008.
Under NCOPE there will be a committee named the Committee on Approval
of Pedorthic Education (CAPE). This committee will be comprised of
only credentialed and/or licensed pedorthists and pedorthic educators.
CAPE will be the content experts for all pedorthic education and will
provide recommendations to the NCOPE board of directors for approval of
pedorthic programs. This committee will also actively review and
recommend changes and/or improvements to the application process and
educational criteria. The system in place is nearly identical to the
system NCOPE participates in with the Commission on Accreditation of
Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
NCOPE looks forward to working with the pedorthic profession by
providing approval services for the pre-certification courses. For
