An exploration of case management courses in university curricula.
Case management is an essential service for adults with severe mental illnesses. Case managers, however, often come to their positions with little formal case management education. This preliminary study examined the catalogues of one hundred public universities, looking for case management content. Less than 200 courses with case management content were found, few of these specific to mental illness. These results suggest a need for additional research on the academic training needs of case managers.
