Case Management CertificateA comprehensive approach to continuing education in case management is here. Based on the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Standards for Social Work Case Management, two Case Management Certificates—Introduction to Case Management and Advanced Case Management— have been developed by Suzanna Waters Castillo. As a participant you earn up to 45 hours of continuing education, enjoy one-on-one professional consultation, and receive current articles and an up-to-date bibliography on case management.
