Course Description
The Functional Capacity Assessment Live Remote Training offered by DSI Work Solutions is an immersive educational program designed to enable healthcare professionals, human resource personnel, safety officers, and other relevant stakeholders to conduct reliable and defensible Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs).
This course equips participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to assess an individual’s capacity to perform work-related tasks in a safe and efficient manner. The program dives deep into the science and methodologies behind effective FCEs, providing a clear understanding of how to design, administer, and interpret these evaluations.
Covering a broad spectrum of aspects, from biomechanics and kinesiology to legal and ethical considerations, the course provides a comprehensive understanding of how FCEs fit into injury prevention, injury management, and return-to-work strategies.
Through this course, participants will gain the ability to identify functional limitations and abilities, match an individual’s capacity to their job demands, and provide data-driven recommendations for work modifications or accommodations. The aim is to create safer, healthier workplaces and facilitate the timely and safe return of employees to their roles post-injury
