Advanced Functional Capacity Evaluation Training
Taught by Min Trevor Kyi, the Advanced Functional Capacity Evaluation training course provides delegates the opportunity to participate in lectures and roundtable discussions on cutting-edge issues in the field. Course curriculum will include a review of best-practice functional capacity evaluation (FCE) protocols, an update on key published literature, and a comparison and critique of major FCE systems. While updating and sharing skills with other highly experienced evaluators, delegates will receive intense preparation for some of the field's most challenging issues in the clinic and in the courtroom. Clinicians will improve the defensibility of their work and gain the skills required to comprehensively critique competitors in the field.
