Our
practitioners are wholly certified or deemed eligible,
by ABC (American Board for Orthotist/Prosthetist Certification),
to provide our patients with comprehensive clinical
care and technical services. This certification
requires each practitioner to complete specific
educational requirements and to meet stringent
standards of experience and skill. ABC certified
practitioners have acquired the experience, knowledge
and skill to provide competent healthcare services
through evaluation, design, fabrication and proper
fitting of orthotic and prosthetic devices. The
ABC certification process involves proficiency
testing in the following areas of competency:
- Core Knowledge of the Field
- Practice & Compliance Management
- Patient Management
- Clinical Decision Making Skills
- Professional Roles & Responsibilities
- Technical Design and Fabrication
- Moral Code of Ethics
In
order to obtain these ABC certifications of competency,
our practitioners must prove their abilities by
successfully completing a lengthy and determined
process of education and experience. Their dedication
to acquiring exceptional skills as orthotic and
prosthetic practitioners must pass the ABC examination
of skill and competency through both testing and
demonstration. Our ABC certified practitioners
must also maintain an ABC prescribed amount of
continuing education credits in order to validate
their ongoing certifications. ABC credentialed individuals must seek education to meet two continual demands: 1) to maintain performance at the basic level of professional competence; and, 2) to advance training and specialized skills beyond the basic level. This commitment to further education and experience assures our patients of the highest level of competency in the care that we provide.
