Hi there!
School has been great so far. The main highlight of the day was the FIM training course. FIM, Functional Independence Measure, is used widely in Singapore and I guess, globally in the healthcare industry as it uses common terminology for the understanding of various healthcare professions.
I had the training just now from 1 to 5pm. This half day training course covered the following areas:
- Components of the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation
- Administration of the coding sheets
- Detailed study of the function categories
- Use of the FIM scoring scale
- Use of the FIM with practice case studies
I’ve got the certification for the training!
To be able to use it in the hospital settings, I have to be certified, that is, to take the exam. I’ll be taking it back in Singapore next year.
Cheers!
