This one-of-a-kind program is intended to assist in pairing businesses with students who need fitter experience hours to qualify for either the ABC or BOC post-mastectomy fitter certification examination or to refresh and advance the professional skills and capabilities of post-mastectomy fitters.

One of the most difficult parts of the mastectomy fitter certification process is obtaining experience hours.— Rhonda F Turner, PhD, CF-m

Student Intern Network

It is easy for those already working in a post-mastectomy or healthcare setting, but finding a certified and accredited location can be difficult for those who wish to certify.

And simply reducing the required hours doesn’t solve the issue and jeopardizes care quality.

Let’s Work Together

AABCP has started an open listing of businesses and certified individuals willing to teach student fitters.

Placement can occur on a paid or a volunteer basis, with the details to be worked out between the two parties.

There is a fantastic amount of experience and knowledge in the post-mastectomy profession. Some fitters have over 50 years of expertise and experience.

And while AABCP can not guarantee placement, we will commit to starting the conversation.
