00:58:17 Melissa Grady (she/her/hers): for NCSSS students, Dr. Scott-Adams will provide those letters in February to all students who are in good standing and are planning on graduating in May. 00:58:43 Melissa Grady (she/her/hers): For online students, you can email her directly for those letters if you are graduating at a different time of year. 01:18:17 Robyn S. Haim (she/her/hers): can you repeat what three things in supervision are? 01:20:05 Marianne Graham, Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners: In Maryland, it is clinical social work experience in 1) assessment 2) formulation of a diagnostic impression 3) treatment of mental illness or other conditions, and 4) provision of psychotherapy. 01:20:41 Robyn S. Haim (she/her/hers): 👍 01:23:38 Robyn S. Haim (she/her/hers): For MD, I am just finishing my MSW in the next week. Soon I will be scheduling my license exam. How fast do I need my school to send my transcript in conjunction with obtaining my licensure? 01:29:43 Marianne Graham, Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners: Hello, congratulations on finishing your MSW! Please wait until your degree has been awarded to have your official transcript sent. A license cannot be issued until the degree has been conferred. 01:35:35 Christina Sorley: For DC: If I understand the timeline correctly, one applies to the Board (no more than 90 days before graduation), the Board approves the applicant to take the ASWB (up to 120 days after application)… Do you have any statistics as to the average length of application to licensure (LGSW)? 01:35:52 Arie Parker: For any Jurisdiction, If you are unsure of where you will be working, which of the three would be the best to begin the licensure process in? 01:36:27 Anna Altman: For any jurisidiction, what are the reasons you might get a waiver from ASWB to retake the exam in less than 90 days? 01:38:01 Kaitlyn M. Herrera: General Q: I live in VA, but anticipate applying to jobs in the wider DMV area. What are the recommendations regarding applying for licensure in this case? 01:38:30 Rosa Kang (she/her): For MD, how does endorsement work for licensed clinical social workers in other states – for example, if LICSW obtained in DC, how would I transfer the license to MD? 01:38:36 Rosa Kang (she/her): For MD & DC, can you talk a little more about the specifics of the CE requirements (category 1 & 2)? 01:40:11 Lennie Naughton: For DC: after you get your LGSW, it sounds like you have 2-4 years to go for your LICSW. What happens if you have not gotten enough hours by 4 years and need more time? Thanks! 01:40:16 Jaime Hoyle, Virginia Commissioner: Its hard to say which jurisdiction is the best place to start. I would read the regulations for each jurisdiction and their requirements and determine which works best for you and your future goals 01:41:09 Ty Morris: MD: I just want to make sure that I understand for the LMSW. So I would apply for the license, then wait for approval to take the exam, then I can take the exam? 01:41:55 Niccole Edwards de Campos: MD: On average, how long after completing the application can we expect to be taking the ASWB exam for LMSW? 01:42:12 Jaime Hoyle, Virginia Commissioner: Again if you want to work in other jurisdictions, I think you just read the regulations of all and start. We all recognize work and supervision hours in the other jurisdictions if you met the requirements to that requirement 01:42:32 Jaime Hoyle, Virginia Commissioner: for that jurisdiction. I meant to say. 01:43:28 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Replying to "For DC: after you ge..." You continue practicing however note that the hours that you submit to apply for the clinical license should not be over 5 years old at the time of the application. 01:45:04 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Replying to "For MD & DC, can you..."

Thanks 01:46:35 Anna Altman: Replying to "For DC: after you ge..." Is there any waiver for this? Wondering about people who are working part time/take breaks from working during those 5 years 01:46:47 Carolyn Tazelaar: If we live in Maryland and get licensed in MD, but find a job in DC after graduation, do we need to then get a DC license? 01:48:10 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Replying to "For DC: which licens..." If you only have an MSW and no license in any other state it would be the LGSW and you will have to apply by examination 01:48:58 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Replying to "For DC: after you ge..." Unfortunately there is no waiver. Thanks 01:49:30 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Replying to "If we live in Maryla..." Yes you will need to apply for the DC License. Thanks 01:49:43 Lennie Naughton: Replying to "For DC: after you ..." Thank you Mavis! And to clarify, it sounds like you can indefinitely practice with the LGSW once you have it, but whenever you apply for LICSW, the hours have to be within 5 years? Thank you! 01:51:01 Rosa Kang (she/her): Replying to "For MD & DC, can you..." Thank you, Mavis! 01:51:18 Carolyn Tazelaar: Replying to "If we live in Maryla..." Thank you, Mavis! 01:54:49 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Reacted to "Thank you, Mavis!" with 👍 01:55:42 Arie Parker: For anyone who has taken the LGSW/LMSW exam, are there any study materials (books or practice exams) in particular you recommend? 01:56:38 Kaitlyn M. Herrera: Generally, do LMSW-level jobs expect you to have your license before applying for the job? 01:57:17 Marianne Graham, Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners: Replying to "If we live in Maryla..." For the question about CEUs in Maryland - for LMSWs and LCSW-Cs, 40 CEUs are required. At least 20 must be Category ! CEUS - live, interactive presentations, whether in person or virtually. 20 can be Category II CEUs - home study, recorded presentations. You must have 3 CEUs in Ethics, Category I or II. There is a new requirement for 3 CEUS (Category I) for anti-oppressive social work practice content focusing on race, culture, or equity. 01:58:37 Mavis Azariah Armattoe: Reacted to "Thank you, Mavis!" with 👍 01:59:49 Rosa Kang (she/her): Replying to "If we live in Maryla..."
