Certified Impairment Rater (CIR)® Examination (AMA GUIDES SIXTH EDITION) - E-learning

• Physicians performing impairment ratings
• Attorneys
• Claims professionals, other health care professionals, and judges in systems that make use of the AMA Guides

The CIR® certification was developed in 2006 by Brigham and Associates, Inc. (www.amaguides.com) under the guidance of Christopher R. Brigham [MD, MMS CIME, FIAIME, CIR, Editor of the AMA Guides Newsletter, Senior Contributing Editor of the AMA Guides (Sixth Edition), and Editor of the Guides Casebook and Guides Newsletter].

The CIR® online assessment reflects the real world. It is an open-book exam that requires you to use the AMA Guides. You will refer to the Guides to obtain information and solve cases. Therefore, it is also a very effective learning tool — you will increase your ability to apply the Guides. Traditional onsite examinations do not provide this learning experience.

Participants are required to had previously completed a short course on AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment Sixth Edition and proof of attendance may be requested.

On-line, open book. Multiple sessions, permitted

Although most examinees take 3 to 5 hours, you may complete the examination in multiple sessions and there is no time limit.

Successful delegates will obtain a CIR® certification and will be entered into the “SA Independent Certified Examiner” list that is kept at FPD.
