MDT Case Manager - Volumes 1, 2 & 3

The McKenzie MDT Case Manager is provided by USA Branch of The McKenzie Institute. The cases are web-based and designed for clinicians with an understanding of the principles of the McKenzie Method of MDT.

Complex clinical scenarios are presented that will challenge your clinical reasoning abilities and help you focus on the relevance of the information gathered on The McKenzie Institute assessment forms. This will help improve your ability to classify patients and determine appropriate management strategies.

Each Volume of the Case Manager consists of eight (8) individual cases and utilises interactive McKenzie Institute assessment forms. The cases are based on actual patients seen by senior instructors of The McKenzie Institute. 

  • Case Manager Volume 1 examines four lumbar and four cervical patients.
  • Case Manager Volume 2 examines two lumbar, two cervical, two upper extremity and two lower extremity patients.
  • Case Manager Volume 3 examines three lumbar, three cervical, one upper extremity and one lower extremity patient.

To thoroughly work through each Volume, can take up to 12 hours per Volume.

Please note: The MDT Case Manager is hosted on The McKenzie Institute USA website. You will be redirected to that website, as part of the registration process. 

The McKenzie Institute USA will send you a certificate for Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) within two weeks of successful completion of each Volume, and after you have submitted the relevant course evaluation form.  

Your registration for each Volume remains active for 90 days from the time you commence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do I register?

Click on the link to the course registration page and follow the instructions. Make sure you have your credit card handy in order to pay.

  1. Can I stop midway through a case and come back to it at another time?

Yes. If you exit the Case Manager before you have finished all 8 cases, when you next log in you will be able to return to the question where you left off by clicking on the  button, which is visible on the home page.

  1. What happens if I don’t complete all 8 cases within 90 days?

We strongly recommend you don’t let this happen, as your access to the Case Manager will expire and you will be required to re-register and pay a new registration fee.

  1. Who do I contact if the Case Manager doesn’t work on my computer?

We encourage you to perform a system check prior to commencement.  Be sure you are using an up to date web browser, with 'cookies' and Javascript Pop-Ups enabled, and you have Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer.
