Nikki Grace-Strader and Lucas DeLuca were selected out of six candidates. Grace-Strader has a transfemoral amputation and has undergone osseointegration surgery. Her experience through healthcare and rehabilitation will inform her advocacy for O&P patient care. DeLuca had a transfemoral amputation when he was two years old. He has a master's degree in disability studies. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NAAOP postponed this year's Fellowship program until the summer of 2021. If Grace-Strader and DeLuca are available in 2021, they will remain in the program.
