Eastern Michigan University offers an accredited Master's of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics program. The EMU MSOP program provides an entry point into the exciting allied health profession of orthotics and prosthetics where practitioners work to improve the quality of life of their patients. Orthotists and prosthetists provide care for a wide range of individuals who require support, protection, assistance, or replacement of a body part. Graduates of this program are employed by hospitals, universities and private practices where they participate in patient care and research. At EMU, we believe the best way to learn O&P is hands-on. The mission of the EMU Master's of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics program is ''to foster the education and training necessary to develop professionals committed to improving orthotic and prosthetic outcomes. As life-long learners, our graduates will be prepared to apply and advance the profession's knowledge and evidence base.'' To achieve this, the MSOP program utilizes an interactive student-centered approach to learning, in the areas of clinical care, research, and interprofessional education. Coursework includes both academic and clinical subjects, as well as clinical rotations and a capstone project, with the goal of preparing graduates for residency and board certification.
