Hand & Upper Limb Rehabilitation

This program is designed for physical or occupational therapists who wish to participate in advanced study of the hand and upper limb rehabilitation. The curriculum consists of four graduate level courses, offered in a convenient web-based format with limited onsite weekend sessions to practice psychomotor skills required for advanced practice in hand therapy.  Many graduates have indicated that the course work has helped them prepare for the Certification in Hand Therapy (CHT) examination offered by the Hand Therapy Certification Commission (HTCC).

After successfully completing the four courses, students will receive a post-professional certificate of completion. Previous students have transferred credits from the certificate program to degree programs at other universities; usually as elective credits. The credits may be applied to the Post-Professional OTD program offered at Thomas Jefferson University.
