To obtain certification as an orthotist, individuals typically need to complete a master's degree in orthotics and prosthetics or a related field, which includes coursework in biomechanics, anatomy, and materials science. Clinical practicums are also essential for hands-on experience. Additionally, candidates must pass a certification exam administered by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) or a similar body, which may require continuing education for maintenance of certification.
