The Orthopedic Physical Therapy Specialization Study Group, or OPTS for short, is an open platform that is intended to be a space for the discussion and study of the Orthopedic Clinical Specialization (OCS) Examination and Specialization for physical therapists.

OUR MISSION:

• Provide and sell factually correct, high-quality, and meticulously vetted study materials to the end-user.

• Update all materials yearly; the clinical landscape is changing quickly and study materials should reflect it.

• Allow all members to contribute to the sharing of ideas, study tips, or prep materials.

• Keep the cost to the clinician minimal; obtaining a board certification shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. We pride ourselves on our free material too.

TESTIMONIALS:

“OPTS was a valuable part of my study prep for the OCS exam and I would 10/10 recommend! The community, exam and explanations of everything were extremely helpful and worth it!”

G. Frantz PT, DPT, OCS

“The Orthopedic Physical Therapy Specialization Study group gave me a great community and resources to feel confident in passing my OCS boards! The practice tests were particularly helpful and I encourage anyone to use the assistance they offer.”

A. Klein PT, DPT, OCS

“I used the practice test from this group to help me prepare for the 2025 exam. I am so glad that I reviewed this information as it definitely played large role in me passing the exam. I honestly think any orthopedic clinician could benefit from this group and not just limit this group to those taking the OCS.”

S. Holland, PT, DPT, OCS

“You can tell how much thought and effort was put into crafting each question. This test was a welcome challenge that helped shape the remainder of my studying and left me more than prepared for the certification exam.”

A. Good, PT, DPT, OCS
