Hands-On FCE Training for Kinesiologists with Kevin Cairns. Only 20 spots available

The Canadian Kinesiology Alliance, in partnership with Metriks, is excited to invite members of the Provincial Kinesiology Associations (PKAs) across Atlantic Canada, as well as other healthcare professionals, to take part in the upcoming Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) Certification Workshop.

 

This certification program combines the flexibility of 13 hours of online self-paced learning with a 1-day, (7 hour) in-person workshop providing you with both theoretical foundations and the hands-on skills to confidently perform FCEs.
