**On this assignment, I am looking for the basic definition of each professional. We will explain each of these to the class and then we will each pick one that peaks our interest and do further research on that career.

For example: Prosthetists are specifically trained to work with prostheses, such as artificial limbs and other body parts. Some orthotists and prosthetists construct devices for their patients. Others supervise the construction of the orthotic or prosthetic devices by medical appliance technicians.
