FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CorVel Corporation, a leading provider of risk management services, today announced the launch of CorVel University, a comprehensive national training initiative designed to equip candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel as claims specialists in various jurisdictions.

Each session will last four weeks. Classes will be taught by experienced CorVel executives and specialists in a combination of in-person and remote sessions. The curriculum will include:
