What is CSHT?
We are a group of occupational and physical therapists with a special interest in the rehabilitation of the upper extremity.
We are dedicated to the enhancement of upper extremity rehabilitation within Canada through the promotion of quality of care, education and information sharing.
The continued rapid global spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has prompted our respective provincial and territorial governments to enact public health or state emergency throughout Canada. The impact of COVID-19 has been significant on many levels including the demands on our work environment and health care system, the changes in our daily routines, and the restrictions on our ability to travel. Bearing this in mind, the CSHT Executive in conjunction with our conference chairs has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel CSHT 2020 Conference, May 22nd & 23rd, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The conference will not be re-scheduled for this year and we will not be mounting a virtual conference.
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING CSHT MEMBERSHIP FEE INCREASE ON JUNE 1, 2018
At the CSHT Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2018, CSHT members voted to increase Canadian membership fees from $50 to $75. International membership has increased to $85.
This fee increase is to cover CSHT operating costs and the Journal of Hand Therapy.
As of June 1, 2018 this fee increase will take effect for both automatic renewal and one-time renewal options.
If you have any questions, please contact Susan Hannah at vicepresident@csht.org.
