Post Offer Employment Testing Program

Grow your business with an effective tool in the war to eliminate unnecessary compensation claims and costs!

Post-Offer, Pre-Placement Testing is an important clinical service-bridge to employers as an injury prevention service and a generator of clinical referrals. While more closely tying you to employers, establishing a Post-Offer program capitalizes on your investment in Job Analysis, Ergonomic Evaluation, and Functional Capacity Evaluation. Post-Offer Testing is an effective tool for evaluating a potential employees’ ability to handle exertion-demanding tasks!

This practical course will teach you how to set up POET testing in your practice and increase your revenue stream from employer based services. In keeping with the Matheson philosophy of developing the “Thinking Evaluator,” this course is particularly important for the practitioner who has relied upon a home grown or commercial Post-Offer “system” but has not investigated the efficacy of such systems.
