* Register by March 31st for Functional Capacity Evaluation Certification Program at the Matheson Clinic (May 2010) and receive $145 off!

This is the premier Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) training course available today.

You will be trained to plan, administer and report an individualized FCE that meets the reliability and validity requirements and high standards of the Practice Hierarchy of Industrial Rehabilitation.

History has shown that providing valid functional capacity evaluation (FCE) services cannot be done by technician-level staff or by high-tech equipment. To be a successful work evaluator, one must be willing to continuously update oneself on the current, best practice research, ask probing questions before conducting an evaluation and use critical thinking skills when documenting the findings of an evaluation.

Culminating in the re-creation of the functional capacity evaluation (FCE) process via a hands-on case study practicum, Matheson students will work with top work evaluators from across North America to learn a protocol that has been carefully built around evaluation tools which are widely accepted in the field, have been court tested, have published peer reviewed reliability and validity studies and are inexpensive to purchase.

This year’s course includes case study-based practice using critical physical demand data obtained from interview, job description, job analysis and functional capacity evaluation sources to develop work circuits for a one, two, three to four week program progression.
