IARP-Carolinas News
February, 2010
The Carolinas Chapter has two announcements for all interested parties, including chapter members and individuals outside, yet who practice rehabilitation, in the Carolinas. Following the momentum of a very successful Fall Conference held in Columbia, SC, the Carolinas Chapter will host a Spring Conference on Friday, April 23rd at Carolina Beach, NC.
This will be a great opportunity to receive training in current rehabilitation trends, learn about updates in North Carolina Workers’ Compensation regulations, and network with fellow colleagues.
Be sure to save the date and keep an eye out for additional information as it becomes finalized. If you are interested, please contact Nancy Wells, Chapter President at nwells@carolinacasemgmt.com.
The Carolinas Chapter also wishes to remind all individuals who have yet to participate in the Workers’ Compensation “Rehab Rules” Primer that opportunities to attend are still present. This highly informative course provides audience members a clear depiction of the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation statutes, including the rules that govern case management practices in the state and is likely to be mandated by the NC Industrial Commission in the near future.
If a person practices as an onsite or telephonic medical or vocational rehab provider in the state of North Carolina, this course will become a requirement for practicing, so this applies to all those based outside of NC as well! As dates, times, and locations are scheduled, registration information will become available. The next training session is tentatively scheduled for May 6 in Charlotte, NC. Details will be provided in future newsletters. Seats are limited for each session.
