Applications for 2023 HERE!

The California State University Dominguez Hills Orthotic and Prosthetic Program has a long history of preparing clinicians for an incredibly rewarding career working with patients in the field of O&P.  From the undergraduate beginnings in 1983 through the formulation of our Certificate Programs in 1995 to the elevation to a Master degree in 2012, our purpose throughout has been to train and educate students to be the best clinicians to serve the amputee and device using community.

Currently housed off-campus, the CSUDH Orthotic and Prosthetic Education Center is a 12,000 square foot facility in Los Alamitos containing both class rooms and laboratory spaces. When students enter the program, they are given extensive hands-on training in a simulated clinical setting, seeing patients from evaluation to delivery while under the direct supervision of our experienced faculty.  They also rotate into multiple prosthetic and orthotic clinics to enhance their patient care skills as they matriculate through the program.  Active clinical rotations are in place with large and small private O&P providers including Veteran's Administration Medical Centers in Long Beach and Los Angeles,  Hanger’s major central fabrication facility, Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center, and the Balboa Naval Medical Center’s C-5 program in San Diego, where combat wounded soldiers are receiving treatment.
