Details:
Live interactive webinars held over two consecutive days for DD and Certifying Doctors to learn case-based concepts for determining maximum medical improvement (MMI) and impairment rating (IR). Prior to attending the webinars, DWC recommends participants complete Pre-Course Cases using the Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fourth Edition, published by the American Medical Association (AMA Guides). Download the Pre-Course Cases.
DDs, certifying doctors, and ancillary health care providers must attend this training every two (2) years. Doctors of medicine (M.D.s), doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.s), and doctors of chiropractic medicine (D.C.s) will earn continuing medical education (CME) credits by attending this training. Please note that the annual Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners required hours for Ethics, Recordkeeping, Documentation and Coding, and Risk Management are no longer offered at the certification training.
Registration is for a single training participant only. No substitutions. Certification or recertification as either a DD or certifying doctor requires a certificate of successful completion of all required training.
Required Training for DDs also includes four required prerecorded video presentations. CME is not being offered for the prerecorded video presentations.
