Save the Date for ASHT's 2008 Comprehensive Survey of Hand Therapy Courses
If you are planning to take the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) Exam this year or would like a general review of upper extremity disorders and treatment, ASHT is offering two courses comprised of an eight-hour optional Modalities course (8 contact hours/.8 CEUs), and a 16-hour Comprehensive Survey of Hand Therapy Course (16 contact hours/1.6 CEUs). Both programs include case studies and practical applications.

Whether you are a therapist looking for a preparatory course for the CHT exam, or a Certified Hand Therapist looking for a general review, you’ll learn about a variety of topics ranging from modalities to tendons and wounds. 

The course handout is ASHT’s 25-chapter Test Prep Manual for the CHT Exam, which includes study questions that can be used for review.
