Implementing an effective team process to create positive return to work outcomes is an enormous challenge. This seminar develops critical skills necessary to evaluate functional job demands, specify Workability Fitness Screen components, and develop a strong foundation for progressive accommodation of persons with work restrictions.

This course is appropriate for physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, vocational case managers, human resource professionals, and safety/risk managers that facilitate work injury management. It is a MUST for Workability physical or occupational therapists to qualify for “Certified Workability Therapist (CWT)”.
