Optimus Academy
Optimus Academy exists to provide education to therapists and physicians. Our purpose is to strengthen the team that has the privilege of working with patients who have undergone amputation surgery.
- We host residents in our office for an afternoon of patient evaluations, prosthetic fittings, and didactic sessions covering post-amputation recovery and the prosthetic process. Please call our office to schedule with us.
- We offer 10 Prosthetics for Therapists courses that are each approved for 1 CEU by the state of Ohio for both occupational and physical therapists. Please email optimusprosthetics@gmail.com to be informed of the next course offered in your area.
