About the course

CSWA has been involved in the development of a Compact which would allow clinical social workers to practice in all states that join the Compact without having to become licensed in individual states. The Council of State Governments employees,  Keith Buckhout and Matt Shafer, explain the process and answer questions about the Social Work Licensure Compact. Among the issues that will be addressed are: What is an interstate compact? How do states use interstate compacts? How do states join a compact? How many states are required for a compact to be in effect? What are the benefits of a compact? How do compacts preserve state sovereignty? Where do states obtain legal authority to enter compacts? How are compacts administered and enforced? What are the steps in the compact development process? How long can it take to implement a compact? How are compacts funded? PLEASE NOTE: There are no continuing education credits available for this program.
