Are PGCMs licensed professionals?
Many Professional Geriatric Care Managers are licensed in their individual specialties as required by state laws; i.e. nursing, social work, psychology, etc. In 2006, NAPGCM members voted to approve a new requirement that ALL members must hold at least one of four approved care management certifications. All current and renewing Care Manager Members must hold one of these certifications as of Jan. 1, 2010. All new NAPGCM applicants for Care Manager membership must be certified beginning Jan. 1, 2008.
