Pedorthist Candidate Guide

Education

You will be required to submit a copy of:

• your high school diploma, GED certificate or official transcript
• your certificate of completion from your ABC approved pedorthic education course with your application

These documents must be uploaded to the online application dashboard or can be faxed or emailed directly to ABC.

Competency Attestation Form

You must also submit a Pedorthist Competency Attestation Form verifying that you have obtained the necessary knowledge and skills needed to perform the functions of a pedorthist. If you are lacking a particular knowledge or skill, your attester/supervisor should work with you to gain that knowledge prior to completing the attestation form

The Pedorthist Competency Attestation form must be completed and signed by either an ABC Certified Prosthetist Orthotist (CPO), an ABC Certified Orthotist (CO), an ABC Certified Pedorthist (C.Ped.) or a pedorthic referral source. A pedorthic referral source is defined as any appropriately licensed healthcare prescriber who is familiar with your professional knowledge and skills.
