Twenty-Five Individuals Earn IAIABC Foundations Educational Program Credential

The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) is proud to announce that twenty-five individuals have successfully completed its 2020 Foundations of Workers’ Compensation Program. Each of them has earned the “Foundations of Workers’ Compensation” digital credential, the most of any year in the history of the Foundations Program.

The IAIABC Foundations of Workers’ Compensation Program is a comprehensive educational program for jurisdictional agency staff, covering regulatory, policy, and administrative topics such as medical management, dispute resolution, data reporting, return to work, and the claims process.
