While you start your career as a new therapist, don't forget that in about 2 years there's a ton of stuff you have to show the board you've done.
Do you have your 360 clock hours? Do you even know what that is?
Have you had enough license supervision at the right rate and the right balance between group and individual?
Do you have enough client contact hours?
Do you have the right Continuing Education hours? Ethics? Clinical? Cultural Responsiveness?
This tracking form will help you stay on top of all the requirements, so in about 2 years, when you're ready, you'll know you really are ready with ALL of the requirements to apply for a Minnesota LICSW.
On three tabs you will easily keep track of your:
Group and Individual Supervision Hours
Do you have the minimum per month?
Have you gotten more than you should?
Do you have enough Individual supervison?
Do you have too many group supervision hours?
Are you getting enough client contact hours to finish on time?
360 Clock Hours of Education in 6 Subject Areas
Do you have what you need from your MSW Program?
Do you need additional, very specific education hours after your MSW?
This tracker page will show you exactly what you need. Just pull out your transcript and enter your semester credits. The tracker automatically translates semester credits to clock hours and let's you know what's left, if anything.
Continuing Education Hours
Enter your start and end date of your first license and it calculates how many Continuing Education Hours you need
Each 2 year renewal after, you can track not just how many total hours, but whether you have the Ethics, Cultural Humility and Clinical Content you need.
Each sheet is designed to do the work for you. It will count and calculate and change colors to let you know how close to the goal you are. All you do is enter information in the editable fields, and let the spreadsheet do the rest. If you run out of space, no you didn't, it will just add another line if you hit "tab" after the last line.
This is all you need for the 2+ years of keeping track during your supervised practice period and beyond. All for only $29.
This tracker is specifically designed to help you meet the requirements for applying for an LICSW from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. It is likely to be helpful for other supervised therapists, but you would need to check with your own board to be sure.
