Description:
Of the 150,000+ physical therapists in the United States, only 14,392 have attained Board Certification. The Orthopedic Clinical Board Certification (OCS) is a rigorous examination that covers a very broad spectrum of orthopedic physical therapy topics. Dr. Eric Wilson has been teaching the OCS Prep Course for over 10 years and past participants have posted an impressive 88-90% pass rate. In this webinar series, Dr. Wilson will provide a final “tune-up” review that hits upon commonly asked questions and topics for the OCS exam. He will also field questions and provide advice on final examination preparations. This Webinar series is a must-have for physical therapists taking the OCS Exam in March.
