focus on education

Workplace Health has been focused on education since its inception. WPH Training Services is a more explicit extension of that for workers’ compensation stakeholders. In partnership with WorkCompCollege.com, WPH Training Services includes a variety of professional development opportunities for physician offices, employers, and insurance carrier / TPA staff. Work Comp is complicated and nuanced but once understood it is a consistent process and suite of expectations.

​

WPH Training Services contains standard training from WorkCompCollege.com as well as training customized specifically for various constituencies of WPH.

​

​​For those interested in an in-depth understanding of the work comp ecosystem, you can access the following standardized programs on the WorkCompCollege.com virtual campus:

​​​

• WC DOCWISE : A certification program for medical provider offices (clinicians, work comp coordinators, support staff) for a detailed introduction on how to operate within the workers’ compensation industry. In just over an hour, students will be presented with a foundational understanding of work comp, a glossary of claims and medical terms, the general process for a claim, and best practices for a medical provider to be successful. Added to that foundation is a brief state-specific module that explains the unique nuances.

​

​

• Workers’ Recovery Professional (WRP): A certification comprised of 64 courses / 50 hours of content spanning eight schools of discipline (Claims, Humanities, Legal, Medical Management, Regulatory / Legislative, Return to Work, Risk Management, and Stakeholders). This is typically selected by claims professionals who want a broad but detailed understanding of how the system works.
  
  
   

• WRP Associate (WRPA): A certification comprised of 19 courses / 15 hours of content spanning the same eight schools of discipline. This is typically selected by stakeholders involved in the work comp process but not directly managing claims (e.g. customer service representatives, ombudsman, risk managers, service providers). This is often used in the onboarding process for claims professionals who can continue their education onto the full WRP if desired.

ATEC is an annual subscription that provides unlimited access to the growing library of content.
