The National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP) is accepting applications for its annual George and Dena Breece Health Policy and Advocacy Fellowship.
The deadline to apply is Monday, January 20, 2025.
The NAAOP Fellowship is a paid, ten-week summer program based in Washington. The program cultivates leadership development while fellows learn about O&P policy and advocacy at the federal level, how NAAOP and other O&P organizations function on behalf of the O&P community—and in the broader context of rehabilitation and disability policy and advocacy.
The fellowship also includes exposure to O&P clinical and business settings outside of Washington, as well as state-based public policy and advocacy.
“The Breece Fellowship Program was created to identify and develop the best kinds of O&P advocates, those who rely on these services to remain functional and independent. NAAOP’s goal is to develop such advocates over the coming years who will become the next generation of O&P policymakers and advocacy champions,” said Peter W. Thomas, JD, NAAOP general counsel.
