"Graduates of the Bachelor of Disability Management program are actively improving the wellbeing of persons with a mental or physical impairment and facilitating their return to work in BC, across Canada, and around the world," says Wolfgang Zimmermann, Executive Director of NIDMAR. He adds: "The longer an injured person is away from work, the chances of them ever returning – to any kind of work – diminishes dramatically, which comes at enormous social and economic cost."

This one-time scholarship funding to NIDMAR is generously supported through the Government of Canada's Sectoral Initiatives Program and through a Workforce Development grant from the Government of British Columbia.

Applicants from across Canada outside of BC may qualify for the federal government-funded scholarships, while applicants from within BC may qualify for scholarships under the BC government's grant program.

"Do it," says Shanna Ramm, a recent graduate. "In my opinion, Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences, in association with NIDMAR – the National Institute of Disability Management and Research, is the only place to get your disability management degree. The program has improved my understanding and ability to make a positive difference in people's lives."

Says graduate Laura Harrison: "This program helped me learn about the relevant legislation, return-to-work case management skills, and how to connect everything. I really encourage people to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity."
