Dianna St. Pierre, BSc (OT), CDMP, graduated from McGill University with a degree in Occupational Therapy. Early in her career, she felt herself drawn to the field of disability management. She obtained the Certified Disability Management Professional (CDMP) designation in 2013 after completing the full complement of 25 courses in the Disability Management Practitioner Certificate Program. Since then, she has continued to work with the two professional designations, OT and CDMP, in parallel as they complement each other in several ways. Most of her 23-year professional work has been in injured worker rehabilitation and return to work in a variety of milieus including private, public, unionized, non-unionized and within small to very large organizations. She is currently Disability Manager for Irving Health Services in Moncton, NB. In 2018 Dianna was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Society of Professionals in Disability Management (CSPDM) and is looking forward to the opportunity to contribute as a private industry representative on the Academic Council for PCW-WHS.
