### Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) Application Form

Earning your Certified Hand Therapist credential represents a significant milestone in your rehabilitation career. This **CHT application form** streamlines the entire certification process, from verifying your occupational or physical therapy background to documenting your hand therapy experience and registering for the comprehensive CHT examination.

#### Why use Paperform for professional certification applications?

Healthcare professionals pursuing advanced credentials need a certification application process that's as meticulous as their clinical work. Paperform's **intelligent form builder** lets credentialing bodies and professional associations create applications that adapt to each candidate's unique background—using conditional logic to show relevant sections based on baseline credentials, automatically calculating qualifying practice hours, and validating case log entries against certification requirements.

Unlike rigid PDF applications that require manual review of every field, Paperform's **calculation engine and conditional workflows** can instantly verify eligibility criteria, flag incomplete documentation, and route applications to the appropriate review committees. For organizations managing multiple certification programs, this means faster processing times, fewer back-and-forth emails, and a more professional experience for applicants.

#### Key features for certification applications

 - **Dynamic eligibility verification** – Conditional sections that adapt based on whether applicants hold OT or PT credentials, their years of practice, and their hand therapy experience level
 - **Integrated case log submission** – Structured fields for documenting hand therapy cases with diagnosis codes, treatment modalities, and outcomes tracking
 - **Secure file uploads** – Collect licenses, transcripts, supervisor verification letters, and continuing education certificates in one organized submission
 - **Payment processing** – Accept application fees, exam registration fees, and late submission charges through Stripe, PayPal, or Square
 - **Automated workflows with Stepper** – Connect your CHT application form to [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically send confirmation emails, route applications to review committees based on completeness, update applicant tracking systems, and trigger exam scheduling once eligibility is confirmed

#### Built for healthcare credentialing organizations

Professional certification bodies, specialty boards, and healthcare associations use Paperform to manage high-stakes applications where accuracy and compliance matter. The platform's **SOC 2 Type II compliance, data residency controls, and audit trail features** give credentialing organizations the security infrastructure they need, while the no-code editor lets certification managers update requirements, adjust fee structures, and modify documentation requirements without waiting on IT.

For hand therapy certification programs specifically, this template addresses the Hand Therapy Certification Commission (HTCC) requirements around baseline credentials, supervised practice hours, and comprehensive case documentation—while remaining flexible enough to adapt to your organization's specific policies.

#### Streamline post-submission workflows

Once a CHT application is submitted, the real work begins: eligibility review, case log auditing, reference verification, and exam scheduling coordination. Instead of managing these steps through email chains and spreadsheets, connect your form to [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to build automated workflows that:

 - Send personalized confirmation emails with application tracking numbers
 - Notify review committees when new applications arrive
 - Flag applications missing required documentation for follow-up
 - Update candidate records in your ATS or CRM
 - Trigger exam registration and scheduling once eligibility is approved
 - Send status updates to applicants at key milestones

#### A professional experience for certification candidates

Hand therapists pursuing their CHT credential are already managing full caseloads, continuing education requirements, and demanding clinical schedules. A certification application that's confusing, glitchy, or requires multiple sessions to complete adds unnecessary stress to an already rigorous process.

Paperform's **document-style editor** lets you create applications that feel clear and approachable, with progress indicators, helpful descriptions, and the ability to save and return later. Candidates can upload case logs, enter supervisor information, and provide references in one streamlined session—or tackle it in stages as they gather documentation.

#### Trusted by healthcare credentialing organizations

Over 500,000 teams worldwide trust Paperform to manage their most important workflows, including healthcare organizations that require **SOC 2 Type II compliance, GDPR readiness, and secure data handling**. Whether you're managing CHT certifications, other therapy specialty credentials, or multi-level professional certification programs, Paperform gives you the flexibility, security, and automation capabilities you need—without requiring a developer to build or maintain your application system.

Start with this Certified Hand Therapist application template, customize it to match your certification requirements and brand, and create an application experience that reflects the professionalism and rigor of the CHT credential itself.
