CMSA Continuing Education
Every CM program in the Educational Resource Library is
customized to three levels, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced.
Moving to a skills based model will allow you to more accurately
track your advancement along the professional development
continuum.  Later phases of the library will get to the core of
CMSA’s education strategic initiative. With the development of
Career Pathways, CMSA will define core competencies for
case/care managers and allow members to create personalized,
specific growth pathways. Member benefits like CMSA's
Educational Resource Library are the real tangible tools members
can use to increase their strategic value to employers as well as
patients and their families. It is a great testimonial to the CMSA
strategic plan coming to life.
KCI believes education is key to promoting quality
of care. Providing a dependable resource reflects
our continued commitment to the healthcare
community. Whether your need is a single CE, or an
education seminar for 30 nurses, KCI offers a
continuum designed to improve skills and enrich
knowledge, across all healthcare settings.
