Practitioners in the hand therapy field report a need for increased structured education opportunities

An online survey was developed to assess the need and desire for structured education for certified hand therapy preparation. The survey assessed the opinions of currently practicing certified hand therapists and those seeking to become a certified hand therapist (CHT). The survey addressed basic information regarding education, practice experience, and practice settings, as well as experiences and opinions regarding the CHT credential. The survey targeted licensed occupational therapists and physical therapists who currently practice hand therapy or are interested in hand therapy practice.
