Bring Your Occupational Health Practice to Nashville

Yes. CWCE, CEES and CEOS are each sold as a live-stream seat in the same Nashville program, on the same dates, with the same instructor. This is not a recorded on-demand course: you are in the live session and can ask questions and interact as it runs. The in-person option additionally includes hands-on labs and in-room peer work.

CWCE is the functional capacity evaluation credential, for clinicians who evaluate what someone can safely do and have to defend that opinion. CEES covers industrial and workplace ergonomic risk across job types. CEOS is office ergonomics specifically: desks, computer workstations, and the fixes people actually adopt. CWCE and CEES run the same three days and CEOS overlaps on November 7 and 8, so a single attendee should choose one for Nashville.

No. Completing the coursework is the first requirement, not the credential. Each track has its own fieldwork submission: CWCE requires 10 FCE reports, CEES requires 10 ergonomic assessment reports, and CEOS requires 10 office ergonomic assessment reports. In each case 2 are selected for formal evaluation, a Matheson instructor reviews them, and the certification is awarded only if the submission meets the criteria. The cost of your initial certification is included in the cost of the course.

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, occupational health nurses, safety professionals, ergonomics professionals, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals involved in return to work and workplace injury management. Prerequisites vary by track, so check the certification track page for the one you are considering.

The individual courses carry continuing education credit. Matheson is an AOTA Approved Provider and a BOC approved provider, and that approval applies to the courses themselves rather than to any credential. APTA does not approve courses nationally, so physical therapy credit is handled state by state. Credit values are listed per course, so check the course or certification track page for the specific training you are registering for.
