I have an interest in getting my Hand Therapy Certification. This process, while seems daunting, will allow me to help people reach their fullest potential and get back to their everyday lives. In order to get this certification you have to have at least 3 years of practice being a licensed occupational therapist. Also, you have to have a minimum of 4000 hours of practice under direct hand therapy experience. This experience should include splinting, modalities, one on one patient care, and individual treatment plans. I think that hand therapy allows for an unique relationship with the client because of the diverse case load between clients. Furthermore, the idea of being a life-long leaner really takes hold in this avenue of occupational therapy, because the hand is such an intricate part of the body it is important to be sharp on your skills.
