HTCC is a not-for-profit organization established in 1989 to sponsor a voluntary credentialing program for hand therapists. It envisions a two-step process of Certification and Recertification, with recertification designed to reassure the public that Certified Hand Therapists maintain current knowledge and skills. Maintaining certification is the personal responsibility of each Certified Hand Therapist. The program supports continuing competency through a structured plan of learning and professional activities, including continuing education, independent study, research, teaching, and promoting professional practice, and it requires documenting ongoing work experience; recertification occurs every five years to demonstrate ongoing professional development. Based in Sacramento, California, HTCC operates as a nonprofit entity within the higher education sector and serves hand therapists pursuing formal credentialing.
