Dr. Lee explores how geographic access to prosthetic care varies across the country, explains the research methods used to identify underserved regions, and highlights the relationship between provider availability, population needs, and O&P education programs. The conversation also examines the challenges faced by individuals living in prosthetic care deserts and considers strategies to improve access through better data, workforce planning, and expanded clinical and educational resources.
