Hello everyone,

I had a telephone interview for a care manager position. The position is an office position mon-fri 8-430. I am not sure how the interview went, I felt it went alright. The recruiter discussed compensation at the end of the interview, and sort of "warned me" that I would be taking a significant pay cut. Which is okay, I really just want to get out of this "hands on manager" job (running Medical Department and seeing patients).

From the job description it sounds a lot like case management but I was wondering if there was a difference between the two?

Thank you

People/employers call us whatever they want. I worked a facility that gave Case Managers such a bizzarro name that patients and others thought we were either social workers or registration. So do not get hung up on the name. It is the job description that will determine if you are a Case Manager by the standards of the Commission for Case Management Certification or the Case Management Society of America whom can later sit for licensure:
