Position Description

The Department of Orthotics and Prosthetics at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), invites highly qualified, motivated, and well-organized applicants for a pool of part-time teaching appointments.

At CSUDH, we celebrate and respect diversity in all forms including every race, religion, gender, ethnicity, veteran, people with varied abilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. CSUDH is seeking applications from candidates who can demonstrate experience in teaching and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and contribute to the University's mission, vision, and core values.

The Masters of Science degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) and the O&P Assistant program provides educational opportunities for students to evaluate and create treatment interventions for patients who require orthopedic braces and artificial limbs. Formal instruction in orthotics and prosthetics theory and application, research design, and allied health-related courses enable students to learn how to design appropriate orthotic or prosthetic treatment plans;

to fit and fabricate devices, to implement the treatment plan, and to provide follow-up care. Evidence from research and clinically relevant outcome measures are integrated with findings from visual examination, oral history, palpation, motion and strength testing, and gait observation to develop the optimum treatment plan. The Orthotics and Prosthetics Department seeks to provide the highest quality education possible within the scope of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs (CAAHEP) Standards and Guidelines for an Accredited Educational Program for the Orthotist and Prosthetist.
