Accreditation Program (CMAP)

The PCMI Care Management Accreditation Program (CMAP) has been designed to provide benefits to care managers, consumers of care management services, and society as a whole.

For the care manager, the CMAP provides a method of certification based on acquired learning and demonstrated competence in the field. Through this certification process the professional stature of care managers will increase and professionals will have a structure for continued career growth and the enhancement of skill and knowledge. Upon successful completion of CMAP and the awarding of certification, individuals may use the letters CCM (Certified Care Manager) following their names in professional correspondence, on business cards, and on their curriculum vitae.

Society benefits because they know that limited financial resources are being spent on the services of individuals that have demonstrated competence in the practice of their profession.

Finally, consumers benefit from the accreditation process in that they know care management professionals that have met standards of practice and specific certification criteria are addressing their interests and needs.
