Getting Employees Back to Well. Back to Work. Back to Life.

The Certified Disability Management Specialist (CDMS) credential is a gold standard, confirming professionals have the highest level of knowledge and skills required to analyze workplace health and safety risk, recommend prevention strategies, and alleviate the personal and professional effects of disability. The CDMS promotes competence, sustains high professional standards, and advances ethical practice in the field.

As the field of disability management evolves, it's more important than ever to have a workforce with the professional background and expertise to practice competently.

CDMS Employer-based Programs: Promoting Professional Development for Your Staff

The CDMS offers a variety of products to advance professional development and education. Employers can partner with CDMS and promote certification or designation to staff who wish to advance their professional development through the Core Knowledge Curriculum (CKC)—the first comprehensive online learning program focused solely on disability management and leaves of absence in the workplace. The CKC can be used as a professional development tool or as a supplement to CDMS certification exam preparation.
