Ways to specialize
Both disciplines, not one
Certified in orthotics and prosthetics together. More residency time, and more kinds of job open to you.
Pedorthics
Shoes and foot orthoses. A shorter separate credential from the same board.
Pediatrics and scoliosis bracing
Children grow, so devices get remade constantly. Specialized and always in demand.
Advanced prosthetics
Microprocessor knees, powered ankles and pattern-controlled arms. Manufacturer training courses, not degrees.
