CDMS (EXIN) case studies

The Certified Disability Management Specialist (CDMS®) credential is issued by The Commission®, the same organization that administers the CCM® for case managers. The Commission describes CDMS as "the only independent, nationally accredited certification for disability management specialists," and states that it has set the benchmark for evidence-based, accredited certification for more than 30 years. The credential is aimed at professionals who manage disability-related absence, return-to-work, and accommodation processes within employer, insurer, and rehabilitation settings - work that sits at the intersection of clinical understanding, benefits administration, and employment law. Because The Commission positions its credentials as validating expertise and upholding ethical practice, candidates should expect the exam to test applied judgment rather than isolated recall. The CDMS case studies are 5 cases and about 2,866 words.
