How Accreditation Works
Every five years, all certified prosthetists and orthotists must complete a minimum of 30 hours of qualifying education. OrtoPed workshops help attendees reach that goal by working with accrediting bodies to offer Mandatory Continuing Education credits (MCEs)
Please Note: All educational opportunities are subject to application and approval of the respective participant organization that governs credits for continuing education. It is the responsibility of the webinar attendee to record and submit their individual activities to their governing body to prove attendance of the webinar, where applicable. OrtoPed ULC is only responsible for 1) making sure the educational opportunity is accredited with the respective organization that governs credits, 2) recording the information for those who plan to attend, 3) confirm attendance of an individual to a respective participating organization when necessary, and/or 4) supply the attendee with a certificate of completion once credits have been completed as proof.
