Pedorthic Program
ABC pedorthic certification is awarded as an attestation of competency for the public, those who require pedorthic services, and those in other health professions. The awarding of ABC pedorthic certification provides the certified pedorthist with an appropriate and meaningful recognition of professional competence.
The Scope of Practice for Certified Pedorthists identified the practice areas of ABC C.Peds and a thorough description of pedorthic devices.
Eligibility Requirements:
Candidates for ABC pedorthist certification can attain the C.Ped credential through two pathways.
