Comment Period | Ended on 4/5/2019 |
The current regulations require that an applicant's experience be supervised by a Virginia licensed mental health provider or a person that is approved for supervision toward licensure in Virginia. This creates a significant recruitment barrrier, preventing employers from giving fair consideration to applicants with experience from out of state. Out of State experience should be considered based on equivalency of roles.
