Protez Academy — Education in Prosthetics and Rehabilitation
Protez Academy is an educational project of the Protez Foundation in collaboration with Century College and with the participation of specialists from the University of Minnesota and Concordia University
Mission: To develop the prosthetics and rehabilitation system in Ukraine through modern education, the integration of international experience, and practical solutions, so that every person after amputation has access to quality, functional, and human-centered recovery.
Human-centeredness
The patient is at the center of every decision. We work not with a diagnosis, but with a person — their goals, function, and quality of life.
Quality and professionalism
We teach modern, evidence-based, and clinically relevant approaches that deliver real results in practice.
Practicality
Education must build skills. We focus on what can be applied immediately when working with a patient.
Continuous development
We continuously grow by adopting new approaches and technologies in our practice.
Innovation
We search for, test, and implement new technologies, solutions, and learning formats in prosthetics and rehabilitation.
Developing a modern education system for specialists in prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation
