As the development of professional case management practice evolves, certification of case managers has become increasingly important for demonstrating practitioners’ knowledge level and quest for professionalism, as well as for meeting employment requirements. It has also allowed many case managers to have greater job flexibility, opportunities, and promotion. This course is designed to provide the practicing case manager with information to assist them in preparing for certification in case management, with a particular focus on the Certified Case Manager (CCM) credential.

The course content is updated every six months, based on input from course attendees after they have taken the CCM exam. The faculty possess years of experience in case management in various practice settings and locations to provide a broad, national perspective. This course is also appropriate for those who are seeking a basic case management course. A 250+ page manual provides course material, as well as information and resources for self-study.

Objectives:

Describe the process for Case Manager Certification (CCM) credential, gaining insight into taking exams with multiple choice questions.
Recognize essential knowledge areas for case management practice, as outlined by CCMC.
Describe basic concepts and resources for disability management; and determine individual additional study needs.
