Course content is updated every four months, based on input from course attendees after they have taken the CCM exam. Faculty presenters 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 seeking a basic case management course. A workshop manual will provide registered attendees with course material, as well as information and resources for self-study
