kyoki_tenchi is looking at trying to obtain social work licensure in Georgia, I figured I'd take a gander at the licensure/reciprocity regulations in my two possible future locations: Massachusetts and California.
Massachusetts allows full reciprocity for all licenses. This means I could get my LISW here in Ohio next year, and it would become an LICSW in Massachusetts, provided I fill out the forms and provide some professional references.
California does not allow reciprocity with any states. On top of that, they have CRAZY requirements, including 6 years of supervision, a California-specific written exam /and/ an oral exam. DEAR JESUS GOD! (You can practice unlicensed in CA with a BSW or an MSW, but still!)
That's craziness!

I have a friend from BC who practices out there and was telling me about all the craziness and oral exams and other assorted crap... Oy!
Save yourself the trouble!

Date: 2003-08-25 02:57 pm (UTC)I would just get my LICSW here asap (after passing said exam...) but it would be a big old waste of $238 (application + license fees), since GA won't take it! :P
Buggers!

Date: 2003-08-25 06:47 pm (UTC)It was just kind of an eye-opener... I think it's good to know what the reciprocity rules are like before I go traipsing across the country.
I want to work on the macro-level eventually anyway, and I don't think I'll need a license.
