NCOPE is grateful for the support of future orthotic, prosthetic, and pedorthic professionals that occurs outside of the school setting. The opportunity to apply lessons taught in a classroom and collaborate as a member of an interprofessional healthcare team is arguably the most meaningful learning experience. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of the individuals in our profession who help shape the understanding of current students and recent graduates, thank you.  Residency Knowledge Base Browse all articles To customize your experience and direct you to the best possible resources, click on the image below that best matches your current role/title.
