F.A.Q.
1. Subscriptions to the website
How much does it cost?
There are two subscription levels for the Hand Therapy Resource Center (HTRC):
- Non-CHTs: $99 (US) for a six-month subscription (due at sign-up). You must renew your subscription at the end of the six month period.
- CHTs: $99 (US) for a one-year subscription (due at sign-up). You must renew your subscription yearly.
If a non-CHT knowingly subscribes to the reduced priced CHT subscription level, their subscription will be revoked and their subscription fee will NOT be refunded.
Will my account be automatically billed?
No, after your initial six month or one year subscription you must renew your subscription by going to the subscriptions tab at the top of the home page.
What forms of payment do you accept for subscription to your web site?
At this time we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover as forms of payment for subscription to our Web site. We are unable to process any other forms of payment. When you subscribe, we will automatically deduct the cost from your credit card and we will continue to deduct payments at the end of each term until you cancel.
If you are concerned about security, be aware that our Web site uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, the industry top standard encryption protocol to keep your credit card information secure. SSL sends your credit card information to our computer in an encrypted code, which only we can read. Recurring payments are conducted through HTRC’s merchant site, which meets all Federal requirements for privacy and security.

4. Community
What is a blog?
A blog is a public place for you to share with the HTRC community your thoughts, ideas and experiences on a variety of topics ranging from how you are studying for the exam to treatment techniques and tips. You can write as often as you want, upload photos, You Tube videos and media, and reply to any community participants who comment on your blog posts. In addition, you may use the blog format comment on submitted questions to the question writing module.
What is a group?
A group is a collection of like-minded people who want a place of their own to share information. Anyone can start an open or closed group. An example of a closed or private group would be a group which was started by several people in a study group who are studying together. Closed groups are made available to other subscribers by invitation only. An open group is available for anyone subscribing to the HTRC to join.
