Hi, I'm Jared, and I am the guy behind oandpstudyguide.com. I became frustrated after searching for orthotic and prosthetic study guides to help me study for my board exams. Unable to find reputable and inexpensive resources to help me prepare, I created my own. Using a website was an excellent way to organize and quickly navigate through all the information needed to pass my certification exams. After graduating from J.E. Hanger College of Orthotics and Prosthetics and completing each of my residencies, I made the next obvious step to furthering my career.

I applied for my board exams. At this time was when the search for a great study guide began. I talked to several practitioners and candidates in the field only to discover that many of the test preps were either in faraway locations or way out of my budget. Next, I searched the web only to run into the same problem. I decided to stop wasting time searching for resources and create my own. I spent valuable time after work and on the weekends trying to determine exactly what information I needed to study. Outlining books, pouring over power points and notes from school, I felt like I was drowning in a sea of materials. I broke down and spent entirely too much money on study resources online and spending more money than I had traveling to far away locations. I did all of this out of fear! To ensure I wouldn't freeze up after being asked a question I wasn't prepared for. Taking all of these prep courses and outlining thousands of pages of information resulted in thorough study guides. I removed all of the excessive information and made them easy to navigate. Why study material you will never need or waste valuable study time to find that one answer you can't remember? Along the way, I discovered some great tools, tips, and tricks to help me retain information and great ways to keep me motivated. Initially, this website only aimed to help me study for the boards.
