Continuing professional development is an interactive process to maintain and extend a case management practitioner or professional’s knowledge, expertise and competence throughout their career and is fundamental in the provision of safe and effective services. The CMSA defines Professional Training and Development as the movement along the continuum of competence required by case management practitioners and professionals, to provide services based upon evidence of effectiveness and best practice. This can be achieved through formal or informal instruction and learning. Active engagement in Professional Training and Development (PTD) activities is a means by which members of the CMSA, and the case management profession, maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence as a means to develop the personal and professional qualities required for the specialist practice of case management.
