Hello all/ Received quite a few responses regarding an O&P doctorate program and as requested by many of you, here are the results.
Many people suggested University of Strathclyde in Scotland.
Chris Hovorka from Georgia Tech was kind enough to offer the following information as well:
To my knowledge there is no clinical doctorate program yet available in
O&P. There are however two institutions in the U.S. that offer an
academic doctorate (PhD program) in O&P. One program at Georgia Tech in
Atlanta, GA offers a PhD in Applied Physiology with focus in O&P. This
program provides funding for students via a pre-doctoral institutional
training grant by the National Institute of Health (NIH). To find out
more go to <URL Redacted> < <URL Redacted>> and click on the link
Research Training in Prosthetics and Orthotics.
The other program is at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA and
offers a PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences in which the student can focus
studies related to O&P. Information regarding this program is available
at <URL Redacted> < http://www.ap.gatech.edu/academic/ >
