3, students are presented with an increasingly complex IDAM case study each week. Each case study is analyzed and developed into actionable plans for resolving problems and maximizing financial and intangible benefits.

CPDM 4, a new and advanced course, is in the planning stages for a later release.

The CPDM curriculum is delivered through IEA's classroom and online study programs. Additional, well-credentialed instructors have been added to meet demand.

"Employers increasingly recognize the causes and costs of absence and disability, and realize they can help control both," said Marcia Carruthers, CEO of DMEC. "IEA's new comprehensive CPDM curriculum will enable more employers to devise and implement strategies that benefit both their employees and their bottom lines. Reducing disability and absence, including addressing behavioral health, is truly the "low hanging fruit" of improvements to our nation's health care system."

The CPDM designation was introduced in 1997 by DMEC and IEA. To date, more than 1,300 students have received designation as a Certified Professional in Disability Management. Most students achieve CPDM within three years. Six hours of continuing education are required annually to maintain the designation.
