My employer could feel confident that I have a certain level of professionalism and expertise because I'm certified. Certification also demonstrates that established case managers have completed ongoing continuing education programs in order to qualify for recertification. First, decide which certificate will open the right door for your career. Ask your colleagues which credential helped them most. Because case management is really a constellation of related practice specialties, many certification programs are available.
Certification programs are also available through other organizations.
For example, the American Association of Managed Care Nurses has established standards for managed care nursing practice and offers a two-day classroom certification program. Check with nursing schools and universities for additional continuing education programs or degrees in case management. Dozens of professional associations are dedicated to case management.
