Orthotist


Orthotist

 

Duties and Responsibilities: Prosthetists design and make replacement limbs.  Orthotists work with patients that need extra support for their muscles, spine, or limbs.  Design, make, and fit apparatuses made of plastic, wood, leather, and metal that help stabilize, strengthen or replace body parts.  

 

Salary: $25,000 - $40,000

 

Education: Students should take challenging science, math, and English courses in high school. Some colleges and universities offer bachelor degrees in orthotic and prosthetic programs.

 

 

Reflection: I would like to be an orthotist because they make pretty decent money.
