As a Virginia resident who continues to practice in Maryland because of the lack of parity/reciprocity in licensing practices, I encourage you to consider other means of credentialing education programs. In my experiences as a clinical supervisor, I have found that CACREP schools at times focus on creating policies that meet CACREP standards, essentially "checking the box" rather than focusing on quality instruction and supervised experiences. CACREP's accredidation is not a guarantee of quality programs and lack of CACREP accredidation does not necesserily indicate a deficit.
