Maintaining Your Certification

Like most professional certification bodies, the International Disability Management Standards Council requires you to maintain your certification annually. Each year, you must:

Show proof that you participated in a minimum of 20 credit hours of continuing education each year (see conferences and workshops for events sponsored by NIDMAR); proof may be submitted every second year, i.e. 40 hours every second year, and must include credits related directly to disability management including certificates or other signed documentation
Demonstrate that you have been working in the field of disability management with the submission of letter(s) of attestation completed by supervisor on employer letterhead
Complete and sign a statement agreeing to uphold the Ethical Standards and Professional Conduct
Pay an annual membership fee.

I've been doing disability management for a long, long time. I wondered how well I knew this business. To me, it was like a measuring stick, to test whether I knew what I was talking about. I did it for myself. Robert Rodger, CRTWC, Co-chair, Health and Welfare Committee, Canfor-Northwood Pulpmill, CEP 603, Prince George, BC
