Certification Course 

The Disability Management Certificate Course has been designed and developed in response to the growing challenges of providing efficient and appropriate disability management in a health care setting. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related and chronic diseases requires integrated programs to support a healthy work environment and strategies for re-entry into the workplace.

This course will provide you with a good understanding of the legislative requirements, fundamental principles and best practices for the practical application of a disability management program and its integration into the framework of Occupational Health, Human Resources and Organizational Development initiatives that support a healthy workplace as defined in the Health Promoting Hospitals initiative.

In this course you will hear from experts in the fields of health promotion, labour relations, adjudication, occupational health and safety and of course disability management.

Thank you to our course sponsor Desjardins Financial Security.
Registration is limited to 30 people per session and priority will be given to OHA Benefit Plans members. Please note that the OHA reserves the right to defer a non-OHA Benefit Plans member’s registration to allow room for our Benefit Plans members.  For further information on this course, email dm@oha.com or call (416) 205-1574.
