ANNOUNCEMENT
Department Closure
With sadness we must share that the LLU Orthotics and Prosthetics department and the MSOP program will be permanently closing and will no longer be accepting students.
Welcome!
Welcome to Orthotics and Prosthetics education in the School of Allied Health Professions at Loma Linda University. An ortho-prosthetist is a medical professional who cares deeply about a person’s entire physical rehabilitation experience and beyond. The mission of the MSOP is to graduate students who are capable and equipped to create a culture of service. An ideal candidate for this profession has the capacity to apply a wide range of multi-disciplinary information, listen closely to a patient’s challenges and offer a tangible, effective device solution. This candidate is also someone who can maintain long-term relationships; continuing to offer new solutions throughout the lifetime of the patient.
The Hybrid MSOP Track
This graduate-level, blended-learning track is completed in 8 quarters (2 years). A new Cohort starts each summer quarter. This track is using a spiral learning format. The first year is in theory and the second year is in-person and in-practice, concentrating on clinical, technical and patient management skills. Quarters seven and eight have two summative courses in which the students demonstrate and test their learning, both in practice and in theory.
