Employment Prospect of Prosthetic Orthopedic Engineering Specialty
In recent years, China has intensified the training of artificial limbs and orthotics professionals, and has trained a number of technicians, technical secondary schools and junior college technicians. However, with the progress of economy and technology and the development of welfare and security for the disabled, the shortcomings of narrow professional scope and poor foundation of technicians and technicians at junior college and technical secondary school level are exposed, which can no longer meet the needs of higher levels of society in practical work.
Therefore, there is a shortage of high-level talents in the field of research, development and service for the physically disabled.
