Optimus Academy

Optimus Academy exists to provide continuing education to therapists, physicians, and patients. Our purpose is to strengthen the team that has the privilege of working with patients who have undergone amputation surgery, as well as to help those patients become better informed and more confident about living with a prosthesis.

Continuing Education: Prosthetics for PTs and OTs

"The focus of the Optimus Academy is to take our continuing education efforts to the next level”, says John Brandt CPO LPO. “Our efforts that began in 2009 in educating area PT/PTA’s and OT/COTA’s have proven to be so effective that we have been asked to extend the prosthetic overview courses to surgical residents and therapy students as well.” All courses are approved for CEU credit for both PT and OT by the state of Ohio.
