The Anaplastology Clinic offers a training program for individuals interested in gaining educational and clinical training exposure in the field of clinical anaplastology. Clinical anaplastology is defined by the Board for Certification in Clinical Anaplastology (BCCA) as the art and science of providing custom made facial, ocular, and non-weight bearing somatic prostheses.

The clinical anaplastologist is a non-physician health care professional that provides care based on a physician's referral and clinical assessment to support, modify, replace, protect or restore an anatomical structure. The clinical anaplastologist collaborates with physicians and patients to provide services such as: treatment planning, custom prosthetics, surgical guides, and custom implants. Training is provided in these areas, as well as in the areas of: clinical assessment, treatment planning, implementation of treatment plan, device delivery, patient education, follow up care, and ethical & professional standards.
The curriculum of the Johns Hopkins Training Program in Clinical Anaplastology is based on validated research conducted on behalf of the BCCA that establishes competencies required for the provision of safe and effective clinical anaplastology care to patients. Upon successful completion, trainees are provided a Certificate from the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
