  • Inauguration of new Ph.D. Program at Georgia Tech

    The School of Applied Physiology at the Georgia Institute of Technology
    announces the inauguration of the first PhD training program in prosthetics
    and orthotics. Located in the College of Sciences, graduate training in the
    School focuses on interdisciplinary education and research in biomechanics
    and the physiological basis of movement control. Capitalizing on current
    collaborations with units on campus, e.g. the College of Engineering, and
    off campus, e.g. the School of Medicine at Emory University, the program
    invites applicants to become active participants in the evolution of a
    "research culture" in the field of prosthetics and orthotics, advance the
    profession and, in the larger context, contribute to the broader field of
    Rehabilitation Medicine. Applicants should be forward thinking and ready to
    embrace potential leadership opportunities in collaborative research efforts
    to advance the field of Rehabilitation Medicine.

    With the support of the NIH and the Georgia Institute of Technology, three
    students will be accepted into the program each year. Each student will be
    supported for three years including a stipend, tuition waiver, a travel
    budget and funding for related expenses. Twenty-six graduate faculty and
    over 50 clinical faculty residing in 5 separate Schools at Georgia Tech, 2
    schools at Georgia State and 2 departments in the School of Medicine at
    Emory University are committed to mentoring students and actively
    participating in related committee work. The flexible curriculum with a
    series of required and elective classes is designed to accommodate basic
    undergraduate preparation in engineering and the life sciences as well as
    pre-professional applicants and post-professional applicants in the fields
    of medicine, prosthetics/orthotics as well as physical and occupational
    therapy.
