The Hand Therapy Certification Commission envisions a time when every qualified therapist who treats hand and upper limb patients will become a Certified Hand Therapist. The Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) credential designates excellence in the field of hand therapy. For over three decades, it has been recognized as a benchmark for excellence in advanced specialty credentialing in health care. Hand therapy certification is voluntary and difficult to attain. It involves meeting rigorous standards, developing a long-range career path, and acquiring the advanced study and training required to pass the certification examination and earn the CHT credential. There are 7,570 CHTs worldwide. false false 810913 808362 The purposes of the Hand Therapy Certification Commission credentialing program are to:1. Serve the public and hand therapy community by maintaining high standards in the practice of hand therapy.2. Enhance the quality of patient care.3. Recognize occupational therapists and physical therapists who have achieved an advanced level of professional knowledge and clinical skill.4. Encourage participation in continuing education and professional development.The fundamental goal of HTCCs credentialing program is to provide an objective standard of competency against which to measure the performance of a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) practitioner. HTCC establishes the standards for hand therapy practice by conducting empirical practice analysis studies every five to seven years to delineate the role of a hand therapist.HTCC ensures that the hand therapy profession is defined accurately and provides a meaningful way to communicate effectively with practitioners, educators, the professional community, and the public. HTCC conducts formal practice analysis / role delineation studies to determine that the professional knowledge and skills assessed in its hand therapy credentialing program are, in fact, limited to those required for competent performance of hand therapy. The routine assessment and review of current practice standards identify reliable indicators of competence in hand therapy practice and creates a valid and defensible empirical foundation for the Hand Therapy Certification Examination (HTCE) and the CHT recertification process.HTCC provides assurance that the CHT meets the high standards for the credential through a two-step process of certification and recertification.Certification is the first step in the process, setting rigorous educational and professional experience eligibility requisites followed by the successful completion of a comprehensive examination of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper limb rehabilitation.Recertification ensures that the CHT maintains clinical competence after initial certification. It is the personal responsibility of each CHT to maintain the credential by demonstrating current knowledge and skills. Each CHT must re-certify every five years by attesting to continued competency obtained through practice and participating in ongoing professional development.The HTCC credentialing program validates an individuals knowledge, skills, and abilities in the hand therapy profession. It provides a mechanism for patients, medical professionals, employers, and other stakeholders to identify individuals with the competencies needed to perform hand therapy. The CHT credentialing program therefore serves the public interest by reducing risk and enhancing consumer protection and public safety. There are 7,570 CHTs worldwide.HTCC provides resources to support the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) as well as the CHT candidate including mentoring, self-assessment, career development, continuing education, marketing and advocacy. 810913 false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false X 17 15 false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false true true false CA X HTCC 9165661140 180 Promenade Circle Suite 300 41 Sacramento CA 95834 Keri Landrieu Director 10.00 0.00 X 37600 0 0 Nancy M Cannon Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 30000 0 0 Mary P Dimick President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JoAnn L Keller Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Blackmore Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Karol Young Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gregg Pitts Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jan Newsom JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia A Taylor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roy A Meals MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Mullen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Solomon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Valdata Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynnlee Fullenwider Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Bash Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Blackmore Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stacy Hite Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Walsh Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 67600 0 false false false Credential Mgt Professionals PO Box 433 Cocoa FL 32923 Mg't & Admin 318218 1 0 Certification Fees 611430 299300 299300 Marketing 611710 1214 1214 Recertification Fees 611430 501773 501773 Web Page 519130 6075 6075 808362 64614 64614 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 872976 808362 64614 0 0 0 0 30000 0 0 0 0 0 318218 17473 12202 0 0 0 0 22635 0 36648 0 5216 23320 0 133391 0 0 17397 9323 Marketing 106315 Examinations 88130 Bank and Credit Card Fees 19048 Supplies 16843 38041 894200 0 0 0 740193 606833 150 0 0 0 0 0 12510 6735 20577 23934 0 1314504 1474895 0 0 62540 61743 0 2150324 2174290 21831 28140 21831 28140 X 2128493 2146150 2128493 2146150 2150324 2174290 -21224 56721 -17840 X true X false true false false false true false X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Commission.
