PRTE 2075 - Prosthetic Technology Simulation

Credits: 4
Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 6
Internship hours per week 0
Course Description: This course covers simulated patient scenarios that provide direction for device modification, adjustment, repair, or replacement. Scenarios include a variety of prosthetic prescriptions that require critical thinking and technical skills to optimize the fit and function of prosthetic devices. The course requires a self-directed, advanced fabrication project.
