We at METS would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our team of experienced professionals. We are here to help you succeed. We know that if you are just starting out, it can be overwhelming to be a “thinking evaluator” and provide your referral source with valuable information needed to “answer their questions”.

Here is a summary of the support we provide:

  • We first suggest that you keep your class notes and book close by in the first year. Most of your questions can be answered by going back to the chapter. 80% of the questions we get are in the class manual.
  • There are resources available in the “ALUMNI” tab. You can check the “FAQ” link in the “ALUMNI” section. We update past questions and answers from students in each specific category in this section. There are also forms, videos and articles that can assist you. https://roymatheson.com/alumni/
  • You can ask your question directly in “Contact Us”. This is for quick clarification about what you learned during the course such as protocols or a response to test. If your question is more specific about a current client or report, you can ask us to contact you so that you can email a more detailed question. https://roymatheson.com/contact-us/
  • We are available to review reports and help you interpret your data.
  • We provide a zoom meeting for Q&A about specific courses twice a year. Check our website for upcoming events. https://roymatheson.com/
  • We can provide a professional mentor upon request.

Support Rates

  • The first 90 days after the course, email support is free. This includes answering questions about what tests to choose, interpreting results, and completing testing. It does not include report review.
  • After the first 90 days, questions and clinical review that exceeds 15 minutes is billed at $50 in 15-minute segments. This can be by phone or email and depend upon the clinician providing the review or support.
  • Zoom Q&A events (when offered) are $50 per person for 1 hour.
  • Mentoring will be billed at $175 per hour.

We at METS depend upon our “experienced instructors” to provide support. These are clinicians working in the field and are contracted by METS.

It is our experience that will help you succeed.

“This Ergonomics Evaluation Certification Program is extremely valuable. Dr. LaCourse is an excellent instructor with years of hands-on experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in reducing cumulative trauma disorders.”

“Also, I just completed my very first FCE today……. And it was AWESOME!!! I could hear you talking in the back of my head the whole time! Very exciting!! Thanks for such a great learning experience!”

“I was so impressed with my entire Matheson experience.”

“As a provider of FCEs for 12-plus years, I have been through several training programs. I would recommend Matheson without reservation. Thanks to your training, my staff is the best prepared in my area. It has made a difference for my business and has set us ahead of our competition.”

“Far and away the best certification course I have attended in my seven-year professional career. The instructors are knowledgeable and apply all of the information to real-world scenarios. Thank you!”

“Of all the FCE training I have received, Matheson is the most evidence-based. I like that it is a battery of standardized tests, and not a standard battery of tests. It also requires thinking as an evaluator, unlike other programs that don’t allow you to consider any non-quantitative factors, which results in an opinion of functional capacity lacking in external validity. The Matheson FCE makes the most of what is available right now.”

“The Amended ADA Webinar was outstanding and I really appreciate your willingness to do them.  You have gotten to the heart of the matter in the “gray areas” that people have familiarity with, but are not comfortable discussing.  I treasure every one of these webinars.  They have helped me be a better evaluator and allowed me to speak intelligently to our employers and other referral sources.”

“I just wanted to e-mail you and let you know that I found this webinar to be extremely helpful to me in my position as an the on site PT manager. In my opinion your webinar provided excellent information about the ADA issues we may face and invaluable advice to avoid legal pitfalls related to our work site analysis and testing procedures.”

“We are utilizing the Matheson philosophy not only for Functional Capacity Evaluation, but also for the foundation of interdisciplinary treatment of chronic pain patients at our clinic in Waltham MA, Boston PainCare. The culture of function is throughout all of our departments, interventional, functional rehabilitation, medication management, sleep, and behavioral.
Spending the week training for FCEs in Keene, NH was very exciting as it allowed me to know that we are not only on the…”

The instructors did an excellent job of breaking down the complex concepts into the most simple and understandable pieces of information. My folders of countless papers from various sources, both online and off, have been consolidated into one well-laid out reference book!

Thank you for having the Essential Function Job Analysis course available. I have been doing job analyses and post offer test formulation at my company for 8 years now and this course taught me that we need to (and will) make some adjustments to our procedures to better defend any possible legal challenges. That means a great deal to me as a business owner.

“Your webinars have made me a better evaluator and allowed me to speak intelligently to our employers and other referral sources.”
