AMA Guides, Fifth Edition - Mastery!

 As a result of this top-tier virtual learning experience, you will have the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality impairment evaluations as part of a  gratifying and profitable professional practice. Utilizing the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition, correctly ensures precise ratings for medicolegal and independent medical evaluations, making it a vital aspect of what you do.

Acquiring this knowledge and skillset has been challenging and costly. Therefore, many assessments lack quality, and only a few professionals have the necessary expertise. However, a superior, cost-effective, and unique virtual solution is now available, offering immediate and ongoing returns on your training investment. The enrollment fee is less than many physicians receive for a single evaluation.

It is crucial to develop the required knowledge and skills. Reading the AMA Guides is necessary but inadequate; learning from seasoned experts who have mastered the process is far more beneficial. As someone who has trained thousands in impairment evaluation and independent medical evaluations, I can attest that well-designed virtual learning is the most efficient and convenient method. Traditional seminars, live or recorded, can be costly and overwhelming, while our new virtual learning experience offers greater efficiency and affordability.

The course was designed by Chris Brigham, MD, Editor of the AMA Guides Newsletter, Senior Editor of the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, and author of multiple books and over three hundred articles. He was uniquely qualified to develop this course with extensive experience with Guides, teaching, and computer-based health sciences education (his first books were on this subject – five decades ago!).

It is essential to acquire the knowledge and expertise necessary for delivering precise assessments and crafting high-quality reports.

To effectively evaluate impairment, it's crucial to cultivate the knowledge and expertise necessary for conducting accurate assessments and producing high-quality reports. Merely reading a book is insufficient to grasp the intricacies of impairment assessment. The optimal approach involves learning from the most knowledgeable and skilled experts in the field. While two-day programs are available, they can be overwhelming and expensive, with an average fee of $1400 for a fraction of the content offered in our course. In-person events also incur indirect costs, such as travel, lodging, and potential lost revenue. As an experienced instructor of numerous AMA Guides seminars, Dr. Brigham understands that an intense, one-time course is not the most effective learning method.

My introduction to Chris Brigham, MD  was facilitated by the desire to identify a comprehensive training site to understand better and apply the methodologies of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. I am an Orthopedic Surgeon in Charlottesville, Virginia, who practiced privately for 32 years. Medical-Legal consulting services have been a consistent complement to my clinical practice. After retiring from patient care in 2022, I devoted my professional interests entirely to consulting and providing independent medical evaluations. Impairment analysis is frequently essential to case reviews and independent medical evaluations. Many excellent clinicians have yet to have the opportunity for formal training with the AMA Guides. Still, they are asked to provide impairment ratings for their patients or a patient sent to them. However, without training, it is nearly impossible to master the AMA Guides.

I identified Dr. Brigham's online educational sites and have benefited from his step-by-step teaching approach and monthly live training sessions.  The presentations are excellent, and the extensive hyperlinked resources, case exercises, and quizzes enhance the learning experience. The enrollment fee is substantially less than the typical fee for performing a single evaluation; therefore, there is a strong return on investment. Mentorship with Dr. Brigham has greatly benefited me, facilitating the continued application of my professional background beyond traditional medical practice. I highly recommend AMA Guides, Sixth Edition – Mastery!

Longview, Texas

I wanted to learn how to use the most current Sixth Edition for evaluating cases. I liked the idea of doing the course online and that I did not have to travel.  I also liked going at my pace instead of cramming all the material in a two-day seminar and incurring expenses of travel, lodging, and meals.   

I also liked that Dr. Brigham is teaching the course; he has an enormous amount of experience performing several thousands of ratings.  In addition, after you pass a four-hour exam, you earn a Certified Impairment Rater (CIR) certification, which establishes you as an expert. 

The online Mastery Course itself is fantastic.  It is professional and is broken up into many modules.  You can click the hyperlinks for additional videos in each module. Other hyperlinks take you to the AMA Guides and the AMA Guides Newsletter for more clarification of the material.  For instance, one of the hyperlinks can go to an article that explains the most common mistakes in rating a particular condition, which is invaluable information. Dr. Brigham has a great way of summarizing key points you need to know, which is amazing.   

The course is well-priced.  Other weekend programs charge $1500 to $2,000 for fewer hours of training, and you have many other indirect expenses. If you want to learn how to rate impairments, make a modest investment in this fantastic learning experience. 

AMA Guides Digital
