The goal of the Diploma Program in Disability Management is to provide professionals in the disability management field with knowledge and skills necessary to standardize and improve the service they provide to their clients.  The program will enhance the students' knowledge and skills to facilitate a team-oriented approach to case management; convey an understanding of the health aspects of injury and illness as well as of the impact of injury on work and the individual; and develop decision-making and management skills.  Individuals trained in disability management will function as Disability Managers, Case Managers, Return to Work Facilitators and Vocational Rehabilitation Consultants.

The Diploma Program in Disability Management is a ten course program built on core competencies of thinking and decision making, communicating, delivering service, working with people, changing and learning, and self-management. Specific courses focus on understanding occupational injury, occupational assessment, return to work strategies and psycho-social issues in disability management.  All courses are offered via distance learning technology.
