Clinical Anaplastology

专业详情

The Master of Science program in Clinical Anaplastology (CA) provides students with knowledge to succeed as clinicians providing facial, ocular (eye), and non-weight bearing somatic (body) prostheses, as well as designing 3D patient-matched models, surgical templates and other 3D printed clinical models. Prostheses are created working with each patient to custom mold, cast, sculpt, and colorize the final wearable device.

Clinical anaplastology offers a treatment option to patients for whom surgical reconstruction alone cannot restore facial features or the appearance of limbs and digits. Custom prosthetic devices allow patients to resume functional activities of daily living.

The 22-month curriculum of the Master of Science program in Clinical Anaplastology (CA) is designed to prepare graduates for the field of clinical anaplastology and to become Certified Clinical Anaplastologists (CCA). A long-time leader in the profession, Associate Professor Juan García, MA, CCA, developed the CA program curriculum closely consulting leadership of the Board for Certification in Clinical Anaplastology (BCCA) and BCCA Certification Documents, leadership of the International Anaplastology Association (IAA), as well as multiple subject matter experts in Clinical Anaplastology and related professions. Graduates of the CA program will follow current BCCA Eligibility Pathway 1 Anaplastology Educational Programs. 

Basic medical science courses will be offered by the School of Medicine. Clinical anaplastology courses and rotations will be provided by the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine in collaboration with clinical services of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. All degree candidates must satisfy the requirements of Johns Hopkins University, the School of Medicine, and the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine to earn the Master of Science degree.
