How to become a credentialled clinician

The MDT Education Programme consists of comprehensive post-grad course study to best prepare the student for the Credentialling Examination - the primary level of MDT Certification

Prerequisites

• Completion of Parts A, B, C and D

• To further establish standards in the application of the McKenzie Method.
• To ensure that educational opportunities are congruous and relevant to current practice techniques as advocated by the McKenzie Institute International.
