| New Requirement |
|
There were several recent changes to the rules that apply to Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW). These changes took effect July 1, 2008. One rule change adds a requirement to include professional ethics training to the continuing education requirement OAR 877-025-0016. A LCSW is required to submit a report every two years that includes 40 total CE hours. According to the new CE rule, 6 of these 40 hours must include ethics training. Any LCSW reporting CE beginning January 1, 2009 must include 6 hours of ethics training. This requirement applies to each two-year CE reporting period after January 1, 2009.
Example: The CE reporting period for a LCSW ends 9/30/09. The CE report that the LCSW will submit then must show six hours of ethics CE. The next CE reporting period for the LCSW ends 9/30/11. The CE reporting for this period must also show six hours of ethics training.
