For recording click on link: Recording: Licensure Portability Considerations | CAMFT

Licensure portability is a key part of easing workforce barriers for professions. Whether easing the path for an MFT migrating from one state to another or making it easier for clinicians to obtain multi-state licensure, a focused strategy, tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of our working professionals, is vital to the future of the profession.

Over the past 12 months, CAMFT Board and staff have met with AAMFT representatives to review research and approaches to portability that make the most sense for our Californian MFTs and those who are interested in moving to or working within our state. Last fall, AAMFT’s Board adopted an aggressive and targeted strategy that we concur is the best approach for our industry at this time, designed to ease barriers and challenges for our industry in the most effective way.

Learning objectives:

Participants will be able to explain the difference between a model portability law process and a licensure compact process
Participants will be able to identify at least three myths and misconceptions related to compacts
Participants will be able to evaluate three data points from AAMFT’s workforce study
Participants will be able to list five-steps of the Strategic Portability Plan
