GuidesIQ

"If you're looking for the most effective internet training on the AMA Guides training
- you're in the right place."

 "Internet-based, 60+ modules, the best way to
learn the AMA Guides
."

 

“I have attended many seminars, in the past two years, on the Guides 5th edition. I must say that the Guides IQ is the most complete and most enjoyable. It has been said that if you want to go to sleep, open and read the 5th edition. If you want to learn in an easy and relaxing manner, listen to Guides IQ. It is made for beginner and veteran alike. It is the best program I have ever used.”

Max Moses, MD – Orthopedic Surgeon, California  
 



From: Christopher R. Brigham, MD

GuidesIQTM is the solution you have been looking for to master the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition. The AMA Guides are challenging to use. Most ratings are inaccurate. The average difference between a correct and incorrect rating for a single case is thousands of dollars. Physicians want to provide accurate ratings, and attorneys and claims professionals need to assure that reports and ratings are reliable. Learn how to assess impairment correctly, increasing your success and that of your organization. GuidesIQTM training is always available. No travel time, no travel costs, no lost productivity, and no hassle.

"You have developed a wonderful and exciting learning tool for the AMA Guides!

I find your program to be a unique, time saving, user friendly, cost efficient instrument for learning the appropriate use of the AMA Guides. My concern for you is that for those that subscribe to Guides IQ, they won't have to attend your seminars anymore! Having attended your AMA Guides seminars in the past, I can unequivocally state that Guides IQ is as informative and instructive as attending one of your seminars!

For busy practicing physicians, the information presented is straightforward, practical and allows one to implement the lessons into a busy practice immediately!

We all lead extremely busy professional careers and personal lives and I enjoy the fact that I can study, read and reflect on the presented material in the privacy of my own home and at my own pace. The cost of the program is minimal when considering time spent away from my practice, and the cost of travel and lodging when attending a "live" seminar.

For those who spend even a modicum of time performing medical legal evaluations and impairment ratings and do not yet have it, I would say "get it today!"

Ron Fujimoto, DO – Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pain Medicine, Los Gatos, California
 

In the past, to learn how to use the Guides you would need to travel to seminars, giving up endless hours of your very precious time - and then weeks later you encounter a rating issue and do not clearly recall what to do. Or you would need to struggle on your own to interpret the Guides - often incorrectly - since content may not be clearly defined. For over twenty years I have performed and reviewed several thousands of impairment evaluations, taught the AMA Guides to thousands throughout the world, and have developed computer-based technologies. Now I have merged these skills to provide you with the most unique resource available to learn the Guides - an Internet based training program. A unique resource you can access today.

Imagine the benefits of gaining access to over 60 educational modules on the AMA Guides and the knowledge, skill and expertise to be gained from the world’s leading expert on the Guides. These numerous modules were designed for the specific learning needs of physicians, attorneys, claims professionals and fact finders (judges and hearing officers). After participating in GuidesIQTM you will dramatically increase your ability to perform, review and manage impairment ratings. You can return to these presentations again and again during the coming year to revisit topics based on specific case needs. This resource is essential for your success and that of your organization.

Start Receiving Those Benefits Today

The training is equivalent to days of participation in seminars, yet the fee is not. Nor is there lost productivity or any travel costs. You do not have to give up valued work days or treasured weekends to receive training. Choose meetings where your primary focus is networking; this is the most effective way to receive didactic training.

You will be very pleased with this unique, superb approach to AMA Guides training - training you need. All that is required is willingness to receive high quality training, and a computer with high speed Internet access and sound - resources that you most likely use every day.


“I very much enjoy the Guides IQ and the ability to go at my own pace and re-use the different segments”



Philip Adamo, MD, Occupational Medicine and Internal Medicine (Board-Certified), Pittsfield, MA
 
  • Video and training presentations - always available - efficient - On demand, high quality, streaming presentations and videos on the Guides - always available. 60+ modules with over 16 hours of training. Return to presentations whenever you need to. You do not give up valuable time in the office, nor precious weekends.

  • Taught by the leading medical expert on the Guides - Share in the knowledge, skills and experience of Christopher R. Brigham, MD, FACOEM, FAADEP, CEDIR, CIME, Editor of the Guides Newsletter and Guides Casebook and author of over two hundred articles on the Guides. He was the Founding Director of the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners. Dr. Brigham is a highly regarded trainer, conveying complex information in a manner that is clear and easy to understand.

"GuidesIQ makes sense to me for several reasons, the top one being practicality.  With GuidesIQ, I can complete my training when it is convenient for me and where it is convenient for me.  As a member of a small practice with my spouse and father of three, the flexibility this arrangement offers is greatly appreciated.  The continuing medical education for GuidesIQ is jointly sponsored by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) and this is great.  The fees are less expensive than an out of town conference which is also appreciated. For me, other venues for this kind of training don’t really make much sense anymore."

Ryan D. Herrington, MD, MPH – Occupational Medicine, Westerville, Ohio  
  • Low cost - high value - The annual membership fee is modest, particularly in terms of the number of hours of training you receive. In addition you do not lose productive work time, nor do you incur any travel costs. Consider what it costs you both financially and otherwise to be away from your office for two to three days. Add to that travel costs (transportation, lodging and meals) and seminar fees. GuidesIQTM is a fraction of that cost.
     

  • Musculoskeletal and pain focus - Focuses on the most important and challenging rating issues. Musculoskeletal injuries of the spine, upper extremities, and lower extremities represent 98% of all ratings. The presentations provide you with a solid foundation in the use of the Guides, a step by step approach to the chapters, and a practical orientation based on presenting problems - such as low back pain, shoulder injury, knee injury, etc. In addition, we continue to add modules and case exercises.

  • Learning objectives achieved - As a result of these presentations you will be able to demonstrate the ability to accurately rate musculoskeletal injuries and pain. You will be able to explain the appropriate use of the Guides, rate impairment, and review ratings to determine if they are accurate.
     

"In describing this site there are several words that come to mind - valuable, creative, painless, authoritative, unique, and accessible 24/7. What you have developed is so needed." 

Lorne Direnfeld, MD, Neurologist, Maui, Hawaii
