WILLARD FIVE WILSON, C.P.

Willard started his prosthetic and orthotic training in 1965 at Bakersfield Orthopedic Appliances, serving as a Prosthetics and Orthotics Assistant. After several years service he was made eligible to sit for the national ABC certification exam. Willard “Five” Wilson achieved his American Board Certification in Prosthetics in 1978.

He earned his AA degree at Bakersfield College in 1981. Willard then completed the Prosthetics and Orthotics program offered through UCLA University Extension Department of Continuing Education in Health Education from 1971 to 1984.

Willard likes to claim that he started in prosthetics “when they were still made of wood!” Willard's many years of experience truly make him an asset to VIPO.
