CME Physical Therapy advanced course or “CME III” is open only to CME II graduates with two or more  years of experience in using CME physical therapy in their daily practice. This course immerses the participants in more complex biomechanical exercises in which the amount of energy and dexterity required is the maximum. Also, the therapists are confronted with the most challenging cases determined by the age, weight and functional condition of any given child.

This course, is given only under tutorial mode, which consists of “one on one” basis internship with Ramon Cuevas (CME physical therapy creator), in which the participant needs to learn 150 new CME physical therapy exercises.

Prior to taking the course, a questionnaire should be filled out by the participants at least 4 months before the practicum in order to ensure that the CME II graduate has already completely mastered the core concepts of the physical therapy. After reviewing the questionnaire, the applicant will receive the “CME III” manual containing 150 new physical therapy exercises.

 The manual contains all the necessary instructions which will allow the candidate to perform each exercise with his / her clients.  Participants are allowed to apply for the internship whenever they feel ready to pass the interactive examination. The dates and location for the final examination will be arranged on agreement between Ramon Cuevas and the CME II graduate candidate.    

During the interactive examination period, the candidate will receive all the necessary input to reach the highest quality performance in the use of the 150 CME physical therapy exercises. This period can last 5 to 10 days according to the needs of each candidate, and includes a minimum of 6 hours per day.

To obtain the CME III certification diploma, every participant should pass the practical examination. Only 100% perfect practical control of the 150 exercises will allow the therapist to receive the certification of excellence as a CME III practitioner. If the candidate does not meet the standards of quality for the CME III level of practice, he /she will need to practice by himself/herself until being ready to pass a new practical examination after a period of at least 4 months, at no cost.
     
Since the creation of the tutorial course CME III in 2003, ten CME II graduate therapists have successfully approved the interactive examination in order to obtain the certificate of excellence as CME III practitioners.
