Thank you for your interest in the one year full time (2 semesters) online on-demand pedorthics degree program of National University of Medical Sciences (NUMSS). Our Admissions department is eager to help you in any way we can. We invite you to contact NUMSS and ask us any questions you may have. All pedorthics classes are online & in English. The lectures are available on-demand online through internet or they may be watched on a TV screen by using an optional portable hard drive that could be shipped to students. Students are also required to perform practical work (plaster casting, foam casting, building orthotics, etc) at their own time, expense and place.

Many of the largest Canadian extended health plan insurers (including Manulife, Sun Life Insurance Company of Canada & Blue Cross Insurance Company of Canada) no longer cover custom made foot orthotics & orthopedic shoes if dispensed by chiropractors, physiotherapists, registered massage therapists and osteopaths. However they will continue covering orthotic footwear if dispensed by pedorthists.Health professionals who provide orthotics to their patients should consider becoming a pedorthist so they could continue to orthotics footwear to their patients who are in need of these services.
