Anyone Familiar with Case Management?

[Euphrates]

I'm an M.D (no residency experience) with a B.S in Psychology. I am interested in pursuing alternate career options. I came across this particular website, that lists "Case Management" as a typical choice for bachelor's in psychology:

Anyone familiar with "Case Management", and what is generally considered desirable for a career in case management?

Is an M.D considered "overqualified" with respect to "Case Management" job descriptions?

Do you need a certification in Case Management in addition to a bachelor's degree? Is certification optional?


Thank you, I would appreciate any feedback.

I wrote this big, long reply and this site freakin erases it when I go to submit it. I have worked in Case Management for 3.5 years. Abridged version of what I wrote: Sprint, do not run, away from this career unless you are/think you are a person who is extremely altruistic and wants to do Social Work.
