A May
story in the print edition on a
requirement for certification of
Navy social work case managers
should have stated that the only
Navy social workers who are required
to have a case management certification
work under a special program that
employs contract nurse and social
work case managers. That program
comes under the purview of the
Washington, D.C.-based Clinical
Operations Division of the Department
of Navy’s Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery. NASW’s Certified Advanced
Social Work Case Manager credential
is among the certifications accepted
for social work case managers employed
by the program. The Navy does not
endorse any particular issuer of
certifications.
