Register today!
In this five session Webinar series,
starting Wednesday, January 16, Christopher R. Brigham, MD, the
Senior Contributing Editor for the Sixth Edition, will explain
how to use the Sixth Edition.
We are also offering
regional seminars and we would be pleased to assist your

Learn the fundamental
differences, including:
-
How the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is used as a
framework to generate five impairment classes;
-
Diagnosis-based grids and adjustment grids
are used to define a specific impairment;
-
Standardized methodology is applied to each
chapter to enhance the relevancy of impairment ratings,
improve internal consistency and promote ease of application
to the rating process;
-
Functionally based histories, physical
findings and broadly accepted objective clinical test
results are integrated where applicable to help physicians
determine the grade within the impairment class.
The Webinar features:
-
Approaches which are exemplified by case
exercises, contrasting ratings from the Sixth Edition with
those from earlier editions;
-
Musculoskeletal impairment assessment
(chapters which Dr. Brigham authored);
-
Visual graphics that illustrate the
step-by-step process. Impairment assessment has evolved
with the AMA Guides to the
Evaluation of Permanent Impairment and this has resulted
in both challenges and opportunities for the evaluator and those
relying on impairment ratings. If you are involved in
performing, reviewing or managing impairment ratings you need to
attend this Webinar.
-
Each session approximately 1 - 1½ hours in
length;

Case exercises to perform between sessions;
