Happy 35 years!
This year marks an exciting milestone for the hand therapy community — 35 years of the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) credential.
HTCC administered the first CHT examination in 1991, beginning a legacy of recognizing advanced clinical expertise in the treatment of hand and upper extremity conditions.
For more than three decades, the CHT credential has represented a commitment to excellence, specialized knowledge, and high standards in hand therapy practice.
We’re proud to celebrate 35 years of advancing the profession and supporting the therapists who dedicate their careers to improving upper extremity care.
