CalChiro will be presenting a QME Certification Program which will prepare you to sit for the October 2024 Division of Workers’ Compensation examination.
DCs have been valued participants in the work comp QME system since the inception of the QME system more than 20 years ago. In fact, the outline for the training doctors must take was based on the old CCA Independent Disability Evaluator Course.
Until now, DCs had to take 44 hours of in-person classwork to qualify to sit for the exam, but through the efforts of CalChiro, Dr. Wayne Whalen and Dr. Moses Jacob, that requirement has changed to 13 hours face to face (in-person) and 12 hours of online coursework. So you only need to spend one weekend at a hotel!!!
Need QME recertification hours? Current QMEs can take this course and earn up to 12-hours!!!
DWC QME Process: The deadline for filing with the DWC to take the exam is August 21, 2024. No applications will be accepted after this postmarked date.
