From a satisfied registrant...
"In 2013 I was granted certification as a board certified clinical specialist in orthopaedic physical therapy and have completed my OCS maintenance requirements each three years. Not only did I use independent study courses from the Orthopaedic Section to prepare for the exam, I continue to take these courses to stay current. I find the content of the ISC courses completely thorough and evidence-based and return to my course information frequently for review or to help guide a colleague during mentoring sessions with new physical therapists."
