Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
The two-year Clinical Methods
in Orthotics/Prosthetics Program (Postgraduate) is co-ordinated between George Brown College and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, with associate
clinics at Chedoke Rehabilitation Centre and the Bloorview Kids Rehab. Students will be trained in making and fitting prostheses (artificial
limbs) and orthoses (braces and splints).
Students obtain clinical experience under the direction of certified prosthetists / orthotists.
This program will appeal to students who have a background in health sciences and are interested in working with people and helping patients
in their attempts to overcome disabilities.
Graduates will be eligible for certification by the Canadian Board for Certification of Prosthetists and Orthotists. For further information,
call 416-480-5783 or e-mail

Students must submit proof of a satisfactory medical examination upon entering the program.
This program is unique in Ontario.
