HLSC 5410G - Making a Work Disability Diagnosis

Students determine how to recognize the various causes of work disability (WD) and make a WD diagnosis. The flags system and the tools facilitating the completion of such a disability diagnosis with regards to the worker, the workplace and insurance and health care systems are explored as are the psychology of work disability and its behavioural consequences. Students will administer a WD diagnosis interview to a simulated patient to practice a worker’s interview in this context. Personal, social, legal and ethical issues related to work disability and their variations following the origin or nature of the disorder and the jurisdictions are appraised.
