On this episode, Cara and Stephanie sit down with Christian Ely, MSOT, OTR/L, CHT, COMT-UE, CES to discuss how he prepared for the CHT exam. Christian sat for, and passed, the CHT exam in November 2020, so the study and preparation process is fresh in his mind. We begin with how he became interested in hand therapy and how he set his career in motion to become a CHT. Christian gives our listeners suggestions on when to begin studying, how he structured his study timeline, and how he thought outside the box in order to gain experience in treating the upper extremity. If you are sitting for the CHT exam or even thinking about it, you don’t want to miss this episode!Be sure to subscribe to the Hands in Motion Podcast. Once subscribed, please rate and review the podcast to help us reach new listeners and continue offering valuable and relevant content.
