Good afternoon. Just a reminder we will start the OCS Prep tune up webinars tonight at 8pm EST. Looking forward to seeing ya'll online. Eric

Several of you asked questions about the "tune up" review series I offer through Motivations each January and February. This series is designed to be a final tune up & check up on your studies prior to taking the OCS Exam. It hits the "big rocks" and reviews key information that I believe is critica

We wanted to let you know about Dr. Eric Wilson's Final Review courses that will be coming up from January 22, 2025 - February 12th, 2025.  I have listed the dates below.   This is a great way to review the final information with Dr. Wilson before you take your OCS exam.  #7152 OCS Exam Prep Cours

It's been a week since our last OCS Prep Course. People always ask "how many hours a week should I study?". Simple - 42 hours/week. Take two hours over the weekend to review your upcoming schedule and prepare for the body regions you will be seeing. Print out cheat sheets, etc. Then, study during y

All - Motivations will send out an email reminder for the tune up webinars (Jan & Feb) on Tuesday. Take care, Eric

For week 4, we'll be looking at the upper extremity, vestibular and orofacial pain. Don't forget to interact on this forum to improve your studying. With that in mind, how many of you have seen a patient with orofacial pain within the past year? -Eric

Looking forward to our OCS Prep course this evening. We will dive into the cervical spine as well as the elbow/wrist/hand. Cervical spine will be 13% of the exam and elbow/wrist/hand a combined 8%. However, we don't want to discount the importance of that 8% - you don't want to miss getting your OCS

Looking forward to Thursday's second OCS Prep Course. This week we will dive into the lumbar spine and our arch nemesis, lower back pain - in all of its shapes and flavors. The number one reason folks have struggled with this in the past is they have a difficult time putting their biases on the back

We'd love to get to know you better. Take a moment to say hi to the community in the comments. When are you taking the OCS Exam and where are you from?

Hello all. Just a reminder that the OCS Prep Webinar Review starts next week. This is designed to review critical areas of the exam prior to sitting for it.

Wanted to check in and see how everyone is progressing with their studying for the OCS. Eric

Under TBC 3.0 symptom modulation, sub-classification, we have active rest, traction, specific exercise, and OMPT & exercise. Can anyone clarify that it changed from rarely used in a specific population to no longer recommended to be used due to conflicting evidence as of the 2021 CPG update? Or do w

  Hi Scott,   I just retook my OCS re-certification and passed! I took Dr. Wilson’s (live) class many years ago when I sat for my initial exam and found it to be very helpful, so re-took it this year as a review for the re-cert. I think I am in the first class of OCS re-certifications taking it thi

Good afternoon. Next week will be our last week together this year and we will take a dive into the lower extremity. A lot of material to cover but will focus on the "must know" info. Think about any regions of the LE that you are having troubles with and have some questions ready to roll, or, post

Our focus this week for the vestibular system will be proper screening and classification. For orofacial pain, review of basic anatomy/biomechanics, clinical pearls and classification system. Nothing to give anyone a headache, just want to ensure you can handle what you'll see clinically. Eric

Great participation from everyone on the course tonight. Remember, I'd like for you to take at least one new thing you learned tonight and apply it to an appropriate patient before next week's class. Please use the comments on this thread to post your results and thoughts. Let's all learn from each

To all of the participants that were online last night for the first OCS prep webinar, great job. I really appreciate all of your participation and the impromptu quiz at the end demonstrated you retained a lot of information. Great work and I’ll see you next week. Eric.
