This is the "how to" of writing effective and winning functional capacity evaluation reports.

Position yourself to take advantage of the growing marketplace for FCE-generated case resolution data. Working as your personal coach, Roy Matheson will help you select from the FCE report formats best suited to your local market. And, selecting from the 7 formats most requested by local and federal systems, Roy will guide you through his modular triage process of building a high-utility report.

This workshop is intended for clinicians who have established a presence in their local market and who want to grow to a higher level of service. Weekly research and homework assignments will focus your marketing and reporting efforts to the unique demands of your local professional market. It is not appropriate for those seeking to establish a program in the future or for consumers of FCE services.
