The Chicago Metropolitan Hand Study Group started as a discussion group for therapists interested in hand therapy back in the 1980s. Members took turns meeting in their homes to talk about all things hand.
Since that time the CMHSG has grown to include 100 regular members and many more non members that attend meetings every month. All therapists are welcome. We are licensed by the State of Illinois as a continuing education provider for occupational therapists. Speakers include area physicians as well as therapist experts that have provided some of our most popular presentations.
In addition to the monthly meetings, the launch of our website allows us to post the meetings on our calendar as well as posting opportunities for CHT exam study groups and other events throughout the Chicago area. Therapists can now sign up for meetings or become members online. Members have access to our job board and save up to $115 per year for 12 hours of continuing education credit! Check out our membership section and join the oldest group in the Chicago area dedicated to Education, community and innovation in hand therapy.
