Who We Are
Hi, I’m Jared, a certified prosthetist/orthotist, and I am the guy behind O&P Study Guide.com.
When I first tried to prepare for my board exams, I was overwhelmed with the amount of material to cover and did not know where to start. So naturally, I took to Google to find a study guide, but this only led me to expensive exam prep courses (that are not even offered any longer).
So that’s when I decided to create my own. Thirteen years ago, using a website was an excellent way to organize and quickly navigate through all the material.
