Certificate in Integrated Disability Management

The Certificate in Integrated Disability Management is a fully online, self-paced program delivered by the University of Fredericton over six months. It comprises three courses: Introduction to Disability Management, which introduces an interdisciplinary approach to designing, implementing, and evaluating an integrated disability management program; Disability Management Essential Program Elements, which covers the roles of occupational health and safety professionals, ergonomics, stakeholder education, and joint labour-management involvement; and Advanced Concepts and Tools, which addresses risk management and risk communication, project management, outsourcing, and internal and external consulting in disability management. Coursework has no live classes to attend, following fixed deadlines instead of a set timetable. The certificate is intended for professionals seeking to understand disability management practices and support workers through recovery and return-to-work planning.
