Developing a Program for Advanced Occupational Therapist Practice in Amputation Care

The KSAs and learning objectives presented here are the first steps in the process of understanding essential OT advanced amputation rehabilitation clinical and operational standards. Creating a formal limb loss rehabilitation training protocol that identifies rehabilitation needs for individuals with all levels of limb loss will ensure we are ready for the next influx of SMs who sustained amputations. The educational offerings to be derived from this Program will allow competency assessment, enduring education, and a platform upon which further mastery can be developed.
