Kathie Simpson –
This book is essential to preparation for the CHT exam. I had the 2nd edition and just got the 3rd edition 4 weeks prior to taking the CHT exam. The new, updated version was extremely helpful for my last minute reviewing. Thank you to all the contributors for a great job on the latest volume!
The question/answer format prepares you very well for the exam. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Lindsay Gedney –
Hello! I just wanted to thank you for the excellent content that Exploring Hand Therapy offers. I had a 3 person study group that read the Hunter book chapters that corresponded with the “purple book” chapters in preparation for the CHT exam. The purple book offered a great review of the material that we read in the Hunter books and guided our discussions and helped us to learn the material, not memorize it. I also purchased 3 practice tests, which I believe were a huge part in me passing the CHT exam on my first attempt! I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work and dedication that you both put in to the field of hand therapy! Thanks again!
