The LMMU Prosthetics and Orthotics programme records 100% employability rate in 2024!! Yes, all 2024 P& O graduates (1st locally trained P& Os) have already been absorbed into the health workforce.

What is Prosthetics and Orthotics?

Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O) are clinical disciplines that deal with artificial limbs (Prostheses) for people with amputations and supportive devices (orthoses) for people with musculoskeletal weakness or neurological disorders. These professionals are trained to prescribe, design, fit and monitor orthoses and prostheses. Over the years, Zambia has been dependent on Tanzania for the training of P&Os. However, the Levy Mwanawasa Medical University introduced a 3 year diploma programme in the 2020/2021 academic year.

Career opportunities
Prosthetists/orthotists are expected to work in general, specialized and pediatric hospital orthopedic workshops, research and rehabilitation centres and the academia.
