Course Description:

Our Functional Capacity Evaluation is a narrated educational video course consisting of 17 modules that are designed to provide information regarding the determination of residual functional capacity and the return to work evaluation process. At the end of each module there are review questions to test the learner’s understanding of the information provided. Our Functional Capacity Evaluations are based off the Dictionary of Occupational Titles Residual Functional Capacity (DOT-RFC) Battery.1,2 The DOT-RFC Battery was created by Dr. Fishbain to identify the medical impairment of a person, express it in terms of functional limitations, and ultimately calculate the person’s actual work capacity.1 Our Dictionary of Occupational Titles Return-to-Work (DOT-RTW) Battery is an expanded variant of the DOT-RFC Battery. Upon the completion of this course you will understand the differences between these two types of FCEs and how they are implemented in “return to work” and disability determinations.
