The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) has unveiled a new web tool-an interactive map that includes detailed information on licensure requirements for the 13 states currently requiring an O&P professional to be licensed to practice in that state. Information is also included for Mississippi, which requires that orthotists and prosthetists be certified but does not have state licensure.
Each state listing includes information on the specific individuals required to be licensed, eligibility requirements, and fees, as well as links to the statute definition, licensure webpage, and application. ABC has stated that this information will be continually updated as needed.
The new ABC state licensure map can be accessed at www.abcop.org
